If a diamond tool were to be used to cut steel, one of the most common engineering materials used in industries, the diamond tool will face severe tool wear. While diamond only softens at 1350 degree Celsius and melts at 3027 degree Celsius, and is also the hardest material in the world, it has a weakness. Diamond succumbs to graphitization, which means that it will change its crystal structure to graphite crystal structure at 200 degree Celsius in the presence of a catalyst metal such as carbon steel and alloys with titanium, nickel and cobalt.

What do they use to cut diamonds?
Diamond is very hard, but hard materials also tend to be brittle. You can scratch a hammer with a diamond, which demonstrates that diamond is harder than steel. However, if you hit the diamond with the hammer in the right fashion, the diamond would likely break. Since diamonds are very hard to cut, special diamond bladed edges are used to cut them. Diamonds are prepared using several different cutting and forming methods. They can be broken along natural planes of weakness in the the crystalline structure using a hammer and steel chisel. A diamond or laser can be used to make a scratch on the diamond, which is then broken with a hammer and steel chisel - a concept not unlike cutting glass. Saw blades impregnated with diamond dust on the cutting edge and lasers can also be used to cut a diamond. Diamond powder is used to polish diamonds.
