It has been suggested that Silicon steel be merged into this article or section. ... A crystallite is a domain of solid-state matter that has the same structure as a single crystal. ...

Almost all common metals, and many ceramics are polycrystalline. The crystallites are often referred to as grains. Hot metal work from a blacksmith In chemistry, a metal (Greek: Metallon) is an element that readily loses electrons to form positive ions (cations) and has metallic bonds between metal atoms. ... Fixed Partial Denture, or Bridge The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramikos). ...


Polycrystalline is a structure of a solid, such as brass, that when cooled form liquid crystals formed from different points within it. This creates many crystals within a structure, where these crystals meet is known as a grain boundary.

Polycrystal diamond fluted tool and a process for the production of the same - Patent 5020394 (2823 words)
A polycrystal diamond fluted tool is provided which is capable of effecting working with much higher accuracy and longer life as compared with the sintered diamond straight fluted tool of the prior art, and is particularly suitable for finishing working with high accuracy.
A polycrystal diamond fluted tool, in which at least a part of the rake face of a fluted tool base metal of a cemented carbide alloy is brazed with a polycrystal diamond film synthesized by a vapor phase method to form a cutting edge.
In the present invention, a polycrystal diamond film in the form of a flute to be a tool material is firstly formed by a vapor phase synthesis method, on the surface of a substrate having been subjected to helical grinding to give the same a flute shape as that of a tool base metal.
