Diamond impact strength

Understanding the wear mechanisms of diamond crystals is essential for optimizing cutting performance in terms of both cutting ratio and speed. Diamond crystal loss, which primarily occurs through micro chipping rather than fracturing or pullout,...

Diamond crystal quality – you get way you pay for

The diamonds impregnated inside the bond matrix of the diamond & tool, are what actually participate in cutting action. No matter what equipment and process you are using. You will not be able to obtain the material surface finish, and precision tolerances you need, if the diamond & cbn crystals you are using is not right for your application.

Diamond vs CBN (cubic boron nitride) Tools

Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) is a synthetic material that is renowned for its exceptional hardness and high thermal stability. It is composed of boron and nitrogen atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure, similar to...

Why use diamond

Diamond is the hardest material known to man kind. When used on diamond/tools, diamond grinds away material on micro (nano) level. Due to its hardness Diamond will work all types of materials from hardness of 40 on Rockwell scale and up. Diamond will machine hardest material, including those materials that other conventional types of abrasives, carbide and high speed steel will not.
