Diamonds are used to make drill tips primarily due to their exceptional hardness, which allows them to effectively cut through tough materials like rock and concrete. Their durability ensures that drill bits maintain their sharpness and performance over extended use. Additionally, diamonds can withstand high temperatures generated during drilling, making them ideal for high-performance applications in mining and construction.
