Diamond-coated tools are primarily used for machining non-ferrous materials such as aluminium-silicon alloys, copper alloys, fibre-reinforced polymers, green ceramics, and graphite.
These tools are coated with CVD diamonds, which strengthen the cutting tool equipment and reduce friction during use.
The diamond coating also helps maintain the sharpness of the cutting edge over time.
7 Key Applications Explained
1. High Abrasion Resistance
Diamond is the hardest known material and is extremely abrasion resistant, making it ideal for cutting applications.
2. Thermal Conductivity
The high thermal conductivity of diamond helps remove damaging heat from the cutting edge, preventing damage to heat-sensitive workpiece materials.
3. Low Coefficient of Friction
Diamond has a low coefficient of friction, which aids in material flow up the flutes of the coated tools.
4. Customizable Surface Structures
The CVD diamond-coating process allows for the growth of a wide range of surface structures, which can be optimized for specific applications.
5. Cost-Effective Tool Diameters
It is usually more cost-effective to diamond-coat tools with a diameter between 0.008" (0.20mm) and 0.500" (12.70mm).
6. Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD)
Micron-sized grains dispersed in a metal matrix (usually cobalt) sintered onto the tool, known as polycrystalline diamond (PCD), are commonly used in mining and cutting applications.
7. Micro Grinding Tools
Micro grinding tools such as abrasive pencils and burrs can also be produced using the same diamond coating technology, with diameters as small as 50 mm.
