Abstract: The aim of the present experiment is to study the morphological transformation of impact diamond crystals after interaction with metal melt at high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). As initial samples, near colorless flattened impact diamond crystals from the Popigai astrobleme (Yakutia) were selected. The experiments were performed using a split-sphere multi-anvil high-pressure apparatus at 6 GPa and 1450◦С, which correspond to a diamond stability field. It was found that at the HPHT conditions a contact of lonsdaleite-bearing diamond with Ni–Fe melt leads to the formation of complex layered textures which are a combination of dissolution of impact diamond and growth of a cubic diamond phase. The textures gradually transform into an aggregate of microcrystals in a subparallel orientation. The obtained results are substantial for the development of abrasive tools at HPHT conditions using impact diamonds.
