Diamond micro powders have been synthesized by chemical vapor deposition via etching a graphite substrate in hydrogen microwave plasma, without a hydrocarbon (methane) gas addition. The graphite temperature, varying from 700 to 1000 °C, was found to significantly affect the diamond nucleation and growth, the growth rate of the diamond particles increasing from 2.4 to ≈ 4 μm/h with the temperature. The diamond powders had a better crystalline quality at the substrate temperature of 900 °C. Because of low adhesion of the deposited grit to the substrate the particles can be collected easily and mechanically disaggregated. The average size of ≈ 12 μm of the dispersed particles grown for 5 h, was determined with a laser particle size analyzer, while the maximum grain size estimated with electron microscopy, varied between 12 and ≈ 20 μm. The particle's surface exhibited many micro-pyramids with sharp tips, that could be beneficial for abrasive applications. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed high purity and quality of the diamond powders.
