PCD (Polycrystalline diamond)

PCD

PCD 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 (A mirror-like finished surface will not be obtained)

Features of PCD

ClassificationGradeAve. grain size (μm)Advantages and applications
KPD0010.5• Super Micro-Grain PCD features cutting edge strength, wear resistance, fracture resistance, good edge-sharpening performance and longer, stable tool life • Application: High speed machining of aluminum alloys, brass, non-ferrous metals and non-metals including plastics, and carbide.
Non-ferrous metalsKPD01010• Good wear resistance and toughness, good grindability • Application: High speed machining of aluminum alloys, brass, non-ferrous metals and non-metals including plastics, and carbide.
KPD2302-30• Superior abrasive wear resistance and toughness due to high density PCD with mixed rough and fine grains • Application: High speed machining of aluminum alloys, brass, non-ferrous metals and non-metals including plastics.
KPD250 (Made to order)25• Superior wear resistance due to rough grain PCD (25μm) • Application: High speed machining of high silicon aluminum alloy and machining of carbide
