Description

In this article the authors show that it is possible to triple the life of diamond tools, which includes wire drawing dies, through a proper selection and orientation of the stones, the latter involving crystallography: This is not just a matter of theory at Hamilton Watch, for the company has been analyzing the crystal structure of diamonds with excellent results for several years. It might be mentioned that Hamilton has a small department in which it makes its own alloy steels, and a wire mill for drawing wire for springs, pinions, and other watch parts. Equipment also includes rolling mill facilities.
