ELECTROPLATED (NICKEL BOND)
SMART CUT® Electroplated (Nickel Bond) Bond Diamond & CBN WheelsOur top-of-the-line diamond & CBN whels are meticulously crafted with the finest diamonds, ranging from 0.5 microns to 20 grit diamond mesh size, available in Synthetic, Natural Diamond, or CBN (cubic boron nitride) to suit a diverse array of applications, materials, and industries.
They have several layers of diamonds, held by a tough durable nickel alloy. Providing high diamond concentration, better diamond crystal retention and maximum diamond particle (grit) exposure/protrusion ratio. This provides freer, faster cutting action with minimum heat generation.
Advantages of this type of technology include: longer tool life, more uniformity in performance, less stress to material being worked on, minimum material deformation, and better preservation of true material micro structure. This is specially important for more delicate, sensitive applications such as: glass, crystals, silicon wafers, carbon composites, sapphire, etc.
Why Electroplated (Nickel Bond) Diamond & CBN Wheels?
Electroplating is the only bond that allows different diamond crystal rotrusion/exposure through use of different coating thicknesses.
Usually the exposure ratio is based on the application (materials to be cut) The final specification depends primarily on the machining task and the associated necessary chip clearance space. For high-speed grinding the coating thickness should be about 30 to 40% of the grit particle diameter, when grinding or cutting glass fibre-reinforced plastics 30 to 50%, when machining ceramic material and cemented carbide 60 to 70%, and when machining stone up to 100%.
We have a stock program that includes most popular electroplated specifications for various industries and custom manufacture based on your requirements.

About Nickel Bond
(Electroplated) Tools
Electroplated (nickel bond) diamond products usually have a single layer of diamonds, held by a tough durable nickel alloy. Nickel is frequently used as a base for plating diamond. Because of its excellent strength, toughness and flexibility during the plating process. Electroplated diamond products are able to retain their original shape and dimensions thought their working life. Unlike sintered (meal bond) or resin bond diamond products, where diamond particles are buried in bond and held together by metal or resin binder deep inside.
Electroplating allows diamond particles to protrude from the bond matrix, providing a free, faster cutting action with minimum heat generation.
Electroplated Diamond Products Manufactured by UKAM Industrial are Multi Layered. They have 3 layers of diamonds, not just 1 layer of diamonds like conventional electroplated diamond tools.

SMART CUT® technology
How SMART CUT ® Bond Works?
Step 1
Sharpest And Finest Quality Diamonds
The newly exposed diamonds don’t effect diamonds already working on the material. Unlike many other diamond bonds, diamonds in a SMART CUT ® Bond remains sharp and grow sharper with each cut, prolonging product life and consistent performance.
Step 2
Diamonds or CBN Crystals
Diamonds or CBN Crystals are activated only at the exposed layer. As Bond Matrix layer begin to wear out, diamonds in a new Bond Matrix layer are immediately activated, substituting the already used up diamond layer. The SMART CUT Diamond Hybrid Bond makes sure every diamond is in the right place and at the right time, working where you need it most.
Step 3
Advanced Formulated Open Diamond Bond Design
This advanced formulated open diamond bond design insures minimal chipping, fast cut, constant speed of cut, minimal cutting noise, and most important of all, consistent performance.
