FOUR EXAMPLES OF NEW APPLICATIONS FOR CVD DIAMOND ARE DESCRIBED. EACH OF THESE APPLICATIONS: DIAMOND FUEL NOZZLES; DIAMOND VENTURI SWIRLERS; DIAMOND X-RAY TARGETS, AND DIAMOND RADOMES, HAS UNIQUE CHALLENGES IN DIAMOND GROWTH, ADHESION, AND FINAL FABRICATION. THESE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY MET THROUGH STRATEGIES DESCRIBED IN DETAIL IN THIS PAPER. IN EACH OF THESE CASES, ONE OR MORE OF DIAMOND'S SUPERLATIVE PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL ATTRIBUTES ARE EMPLOYED TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED EFFECT ON THE SYSTEM. THESE INCLUDE HARDNESS, MODULUS, WEAR RESISTANCE, ABRASIVENESS, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE, SPECTRAL TRANSPARENCY, LOW EMISSIVITY, LOW COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION, AND CHEMICAL RESISTANCE.
