When it comes to tools, I believe that not everyone is familiar with them. There are many types of tools on the market today, but when it comes to diamond tools in different industries, you may not know that diamond (PCD) tools are mainly used for turning various non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and magnesium. And its alloys, cemented carbides and non-metallic materials such as fiber plasticized materials with strong wear resistance and metal matrix composite materials.
Diamond is the hardest substance in nature, but due to the scarcity and preciousness of natural diamond, synthetic diamond has emerged to replace it to reduce costs. At present, there are three types of processing industries: natural diamond (ND), synthetic polycrystalline diamond (PCD), synthetic diamond Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC).
Features of Diamond (pcd) Tools
1. Diamond tools have the advantages of high hardness, wear resistance, high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient. It can be used for precision machining of non-metallic hard and brittle materials, such as graphite, composite materials, high silicon aluminum alloys and other metal materials. There are many types of diamond tools on the market today with significant differences in performance. Different types of diamond tools have great differences in their structure and application fields.
2. Natural diamond tools are widely used in precious metals such as copper, copper alloy, silver, rhodium, as well as ultra-precision mirror processing. The common ones are: optical plane mirror, polygon mirror, etc. But its crystal anisotropy, the tool is expensive. The performance of PCD depends on the content of cobalt, and the tool life is 10 to 500 times that of cemented carbide tools. It is used for turning various non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, magnesium and non-metallic materials with strong wear resistance.
How to Choose Diamond Tools?
1. In the cutting process, the cutting edge of the blade is mainly processed, so the sharper the cutting edge, the less difficult it is to cut. Therefore, when we choose knives, we should check whether the blade is sharp and whether there are obvious gaps.
There are many kinds of knives on the market now. If they are divided by raw materials, they can be roughly divided into steel, carbon steel and ceramics. In fact, it is not that the higher the hardness, the sharper the blade, because this is also related to the softness of the blade.
In addition, it is necessary to know whether the material processed by yourself is suitable for diamond processing.
2. During the cutting process, the tool needs to face a large cutting force and impact force, so the tool must have strong strength and toughness. Another thing we need to know is that the tool should have certain wear resistance and heat resistance, because the tool cuts certain things during use, so it has stronger wear resistance than other things.Huanghe Whirlwind is a professional diamond tools manufacturer, which offers all kind of diamond tools for sale.
