Compression testing machine helps optimise diamond mining processes

Even though diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material, it is still very brittle. This is a problem during mining, as the comminution, separation and transport processes can all cause damage to the valuable product. Now, international diamond producer De Beers is using a Zwick compression testing machine to analyse how diamonds break during mining.
