Abstract
Abstract A high pressure apparatus for synthesizing diamonds which comprises a pair of opposed tapered pistons each having a truncated end surface, a pair of hollow truncated-conical piston protectors each of which is made of a ductile metal and arranged on the tapered piston surface, and annular die member having a substantially cylindrical wall of a diameter larger than that of each piston truncated end surface, a hollow cylindrical body made of less compressibility coefficient material than the die material and having an outer diameter substantially same or slightly smaller than the diameter of said truncated end surface of each pistons and positioned coaxially within the die cylindrical wall, and gaskets placed respectively at the ends of said cylindrical body.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A high pressure apparatus which comprises a pair of opposed tapered pistons each having a truncated end surface, a pair of hollow truncated-conical piston protectors each of which is made of a ductile metal and arranged on the tapered piston surface, an annular die member having a substantially cylindrical wall of a diameter larger than that of each piston truncated end surface, a hollow cylindrical body made of less compressibility coefficient material than the die material and having an outer diameter substantially same or slightly smaller than the diameter of said truncated end surface of each piston and positioned coaxially within the die cylindrical wall, and gaskets placed respectively at the ends of said cylindrical body, characterized in that a lubricative layer is formed between the inner surface of each of said piston protectors and the tapered surface of each of said pistons.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
A high pressure apparatus which comprises a pair of opposed tapered pistons each having a truncated end surface, a pair of hollow truncated-conical piston protectors each of which is made of a ductile metal and arranged on the tapered piston surface, an annular die member having a substantially cylindrical wall of a diameter larger than that of each piston truncated end surface, a hollow cylindrical body made of less compressibility coefficient material than the die material and having an outer diameter substantially same or slightly smaller than the diameter of said truncated end surface of each piston and positioned coaxially within the die cylindrical wall, and gaskets placed respectively at the ends of said cylindrical body, characterized in that a lubricative layer is formed between the inner surface of each of said piston protectors and the tapered surface of each of said pistons.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A high pressure apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said lubricative layer is formed on an inner surface of each piston protector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A high pressure apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said lubricative layer is formed by a material selected from a group consisting of tin, lead, zinc, solder, graphite, molybdenum disulfite, boron nitride and a mixture of these materials.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A high pressure apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein said lubricative layer has thickness ranging from a few to one hundred microns.
