PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond)

PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond)

PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) is a synthetic diamond sintered under high temperatures and pressures.

Features

  • Applicable for milling of non-ferrous metals and non-metals
  • No edge build-up provides high precision machining
  • Diversified applications for machining of non-ferrous metals and non-metals
  • Finished surface will be rainbow colored

(Because of polycrystalline diamond, a mirror-like finished surface will not be obtained)
