The powder is used as a catalyst in a reaction mixture with pure graphite.

Key technological advantages of the catalyst:
high homogeneity of the reaction mixture with dispersive graphite;
the ability to vary the packed density of the reaction mixture;
the structure's high homogeneity and grain fineness;
minimal content of impurities in the alloy;
good plasticity and shapability ensure a wide field of contact between the catalyst and the graphite;
the catalyst boosts the level of graphite transmutation and the hardness and sizes of the diamonds.
