CVD Diamond vs. C-820 Magnesia Ceramic
CVD diamond belongs to the non-oxide engineering ceramics classification, while C-820 magnesia ceramic belongs to the oxide-based engineering ceramics. There are 10 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is CVD diamond and the bottom bar is C-820 magnesia ceramic.
