The chemical composition of diamond makes it the hardest material, natural or man-made, known to man. Diamonds have a stunningly high melting point around 3550 degrees celsius which makes them perfectly suitable for use in hot drill bits.An additional advantage of using diamonds in drilling tools is that the life of a diamond drill bit is much longer than any other drill bit material.
