Is diamond the hardest material
Answered By: Chase Nelson Date: created: Sep 23 2021
Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring substance found on Earth. But it is not the hardest substance. Wurtzite boron nitride (synthetic) and lonsdaleite (which comes from meteorites) are both harder.

Is Diamond tougher than steel
Answered By: Anthony Lee Date: created: Jun 02 2021
Therefore diamond can withstand more than iron/steel. The data you quote shows that diamond is stronger than steel, but strength isn’t the same as brittleness (or, indeed, stiffness). Steel can deform a lot before it breaks, diamond can’t and so diamond is more brittle than steel but much stronger.

Can sandpaper scratch a diamond
Answered By: James James Date: created: Jan 09 2022
Using a sandpaper against the ‘gem’
Diamonds are among the world’s hardest stones. Consequently, it wouldn’t be scratched by the rough surface of the sandpaper. The most common “fake” diamond is cubic zirconia. If you scratched it with a sandpaper it would scratch up just like any other material that is not a diamond.

Is Titanium stronger than diamond
Answered By: Julian Green Date: created: Sep 20 2021
Actually Titanium is not stronger nor harder than a good grade steel, the only advantage it has over steel is the fact it is a much lighter metal with similar to steel qualities. Though it doesn’t even come close to a Diamond in strength or hardness.

Answered By: Jeremiah Allen Date: created: Apr 03 2021
There is no such thing as perfect toughness. Any gem will break, not just chip, if it is hit hard enough. Diamonds are very tough, but remember that if a cutter can purposely cleave (split) a diamond by giving it a sharp blow in the right direction, you can achieve the same thing if you hit it hard enough accidentally.
