Reduced Friction Make Diamonds a Plow’s Best Friend

Live Science reports Germany’s Fraunhofer Research Institute thinks diamonds will benefit farmers.

The market news is quoted as saying,

Based on the new research, plowshares coated in diamond like carbon (DLC) generate significantly less friction than their regular counterparts. For farmers, the smoothly cutting plowshares mean either a time gain because they can use wider equipment or lower costs for fuel, machinery and maintenance. The tractors can be smaller or can operate in partial load, with longer repair and maintenance intervals.
