How are PCD inserts made?

What is the PCD Inserts? PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) is a synthetic diamond product that is produced by sintering together selected diamond particles with a metal matrix, using sophisticated technology.

What are CBN inserts?

The polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts offer a cost-effective alternative to the diamond tools. They are compatible with standard tool holders by other, leading manufacturers. New. CCGW INSERTS. A line of inserts with a 80° cutting corner angle, and two cutting tips.

What is Pcbn material?

pcbn is simply an acronym for polycrystalline cubic boron nitride which is used in manufacturing high power and intensity tools. This material is created by binding cbn (cubic boron nitride) particles with specific binders that boost strength and resistance to wear.

Why is CBN better for machining steel than PCD?

CBN tools boast a strong resistance to heat when machining. This allows them to be used in spaces and at temperatures that normal diamonds or PCDs wouldn’t be able to handle effectively.

What is the difference between CBN and PCBN?

PCBN is made of polycrystalline cbn that is produced in a high temperature-pressure procedure, Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) Inserts are high-performance tools used for cutting hard materials. Usually, they are very hard, hence suitable for machining materials that can’t be machined by mono-crystalline diamond.

What is hard turning?

Hard turning typically refers to a lathe or turning center using single-point turning tools to process materials with hardness values over 45 HRc, typically in the 58-68 HRc range. With single-point cutting and turning, the process can produce grooves and contours, even high precision threading, in a single chucking.

What is PCD material?

Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) is diamond grit that has been fused together under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions in the presence of a catalytic metal. The extreme hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity of diamond make it an ideal material for the cutting tools manufacturing.

What is PCD drilling?

PCD simply means Polycrystalline Diamond : PCD are normally made by sintering many micro-size single diamond crystals at high temperature and high pressure. PCD has good fracture toughness and good thermal stability, and is used in making geological drill bits. The cobalt helps bond the carbide and diamond.
