Yes. Diamond cuts through everything. In fact, diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth. (Diamond or laser can cut diamond.)
The question was 'why'... the answer is because it is the most compressed carbon based material.
Another diamond is the only substance hard enough to cut diamond.
Only another diamond is hard enough to cut a diamond. Diamonds are the hardest mineral, scoring a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
A diamond will cut glass -- an emerald will not.
A diamond cuts glass by being drug across the surface of the pane of glass according to the desired pattern. Once so scored, the glass technician will use a rubber mallet to tap one side or the other of the score, to separate the glass into the desired shapes and pieces. A diamond tool is used to cut glass, because diamond is the hardest mineral known.
Diamonds can cut glass because they are one of the hardest naturally occurring substances on Earth. When a diamond is rubbed against glass, the hardness of the diamond allows it to scratch and ultimately cut through the glass.
Diamond is hardest Diamond cuts glass Glass does not cut diamond
Hi there yess you can cut heat resistant glass all you need is a diamond cutter. A diamond cutter is something window repairers and fitters use it has a small peice of diamond that indents the glass then it is snapped along the line a bit like folding paper and tearing it. The diamond is used because it self is the cheapest product which is hard enough to cut glass.
No. Diamonds cut glass because diamonds are harder than glass. Quartz is not as hard as diamond.
Yes, CZ (cubic zirconia) is a man-made material that is almost as hard as a diamond and can scratch glass. However, it is not commonly used to cut glass as it is primarily used as a diamond simulant in jewelry.
Diamond can cut glass, but so also can Emeralds and Topaz, Quartz, Tungsten and hardened Steel.
there is only one substance that is hard enough to cut through glass and even metals and that is diamond. Most non metals are gases at room temperature and or even a liquid (bromine). The answer is diamond- carbon.-mitch
Another diamond is the only substance hard enough to cut diamond.
Only another diamond is hard enough to cut a diamond. Diamonds are the hardest mineral, scoring a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
Any diamond can 'cut glass' in the sense that dragging the diamond stone across glass will mar the glass.
Diamond is harder than glass, meaning that it has a higher Mohs hardness scale rating. Consequently, when a glass is used to cut diamond, the glass will simply break or shatter due to the extreme hardness of the diamond. Diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth, while glass is relatively softer compared to diamond.
No, emeralds are not hard enough to cut glass. Diamonds cut glass and they are the only gemstone with this capability.
yes,even diamond if hit hard enough
