PCD & CVD Inserts

IconBACK TO A-Z SEARCH

Family Overview

Our diamond-based cutting tools are designed for high productivity and extended tool life. Usually, they are able to outperform ceramics-based solutions, thereby reducing production costs. Since diamond is the hardest material available, you should consider these inserts whenever exceptional abrasion resistance is required. They are compatible with standard tool holders by other, leading manufacturers.

The inserts are available in two cutting materials: Polycrystalline diamonds (PCD) which are made of diamond particles sintered together with the help of a metallic binder, and CVD thick-film diamonds which are manufactured through the use of laser equipment.

Cutting Material(s):

A polycrystaline structure of diamond particles sintered together, creating a hard and wear-resistant material with high thermal conductivity (for quick removal of heat from the cutting edge). Used for non-ferrous metals, high-silicon aluminum, carbon fiber, and fiber-reinforced plastics.
A diamond-based material harder than PCD, and twice as wear-resistant. CVD delivers various benefits when machining long-chipping aluminum and magnesium alloys, high-silicon aluminum, precious metal alloys, plastics with abrasive fillers, tungsten carbide, and ceramic green compacts.
