Ashes diamond骨灰合成钻石是利用高压高温（HPHT）技术制造火化钻石的工艺。利用超高温热压炉进行提纯、热压，每平方英寸（PSI）产生87万磅/平方英寸的压力，温度为2100°至2600°F（约1500℃）。

This procedure is called high-pressure-high-temperature-one-crystal-synthesis. And it is this very procedure adapted from nature’s diamond creation process that is used to create ALGORDANZA Memorial Diamonds. Our diamond synthesis process is outlined in the eight stages below:

该工艺称为高压高温单晶合成。正是这个过程，是从大自然的钻石创造过程中改编而成的，用来制造纪念钻石。钻石合成过程分为以下阶段：

The Process: How is a Memorial Diamond created?

过程：纪念钻石是如何创造的？

Stage 1 – Carbon Isolation 第1阶段–碳隔离

Carbon Isolation

碳隔离

Carbon is the basis of all life and is the foundation for diamond synthesis.

碳是一切生命的基础，是金刚石合成的基础。

During cremation, most carbon escapes as carbon dioxide and the cremation ashes contain only one to five percent carbon.

在火化过程中，大部分碳都会逸出，因为二氧化碳和火化灰烬中只有1%到5%的碳。

In the process of transforming ashes to diamonds, our laboratory isolates this carbon from the vast range of chemical elements present in the cremation ashes. Following the example set by nature, this isolated carbon is used as the foundation for the diamond growth.

在将灰烬转化为钻石的过程中，我们的实验室将这种碳从火化灰烬中存在的大量化学元素中分离出来。根据自然设定的例子，这种分离的碳被用作金刚石生长的基础。

Stage 2 – Conversion to Graphite 第2阶段-转化为石墨

Conversion to Graphite

转化为石墨

Using our own specialized procedure, the cremation ashes are filtered using an acidic process and high temperature. The ashes are filtered again and again until a 99.9% carbon sample is reached.

火化灰烬是用酸性工艺和高温过滤的。灰烬一次又一次地过滤，直到达到99.9%的碳样品为止。

The next step in the memorial diamond creation process is for heat and pressure to be applied and a graphite structure to form. This intermediate step in the process of transformation from carbon to a diamond is known as graphitization.

纪念钻石的下一步是施加热量和压力，形成石墨结构。在从碳到金刚石的转变过程中，这个中间步骤称为石墨化。

Stage 3 – Diamond Cell Growth 第3阶段–金刚石细胞生长

Diamond Cell Growth

金刚石细胞生长

The next stage in transforming ashes to diamonds is to place the graphite in a growing cell in a High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) press and expose it to 870,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) of pressure and temperatures of 2100° to 2600° Fahrenheit.

将灰烬转化为钻石的下一阶段是将石墨放入一个生长的细胞中，置于高压高温（HPHT）压力下，并将其暴露在每平方英寸（PSI）的压力和2100°至2600°F的温度下87万磅。

Inside of ALGORDANZA’s custom HPHT machines, the graphite structure slowly transforms into a diamond.

在定制HPHT机器内，石墨结构慢慢地转变成钻石。

Stage 4 – Rough Diamond Removal and Cleaning

第4阶段-粗金刚石去除和清洁

Rough Diamond Removal and Cleaning

粗金刚石的去除和清洁

The longer the diamond remains in the growing cell the larger the diamond becomes. When the diamond has been in the growing cell long enough to create the desired size diamond, the growing cell is removed from the high pressure machines.

钻石在生长细胞中的残留时间越长，钻石就越大。当金刚石在生长细胞中的时间足够长，以产生所需尺寸的金刚石时，生长细胞将从高压机器上移除。

At the core of the cell, embedded in molten metal, lies the rough diamond which is then carefully cleaned in an acid bath.

在电池的核心，嵌入熔融金属，是粗糙的钻石，然后仔细清洗在酸浴。

Stage 5 – Cut and Polish第5阶段-切割和抛光

Cut and Polish

切割和抛光

Our experienced experts can then hand cut your memorial diamond to create a one-of-a-kind brilliant, emerald, asscher, princess, radiant or heart shaped stone or if a rough diamond is desired, the rough diamond will be polished so that it shines in its unique form.

我们的经验丰富的专家可以手工切割您的纪念钻石，创造出一种一无二的辉煌、翡翠、亚舍尔、公主、光彩夺目或心形的石头，或者如果需要粗金刚石，粗糙的钻石将被抛光，使其以其特的形式闪耀。

Stage 6 – Laser inscription 第6阶段——激光铭文

Laser Inscription

雷射刻字
