Tooling is pleased to announce the availability of a new type of diamond
making it possible to cut Tungsten Carbide.
The CVD-Diamond is a polycrystalline
diamond grown by plasma-assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technology.
It is one of the most versatile engineering materials available. Features
are:
- CVD is 100% diamond (no binders to degrade properties)
- Extremely hard
- High thermal conductivity
The properties of CVD diamond have a
very positive effect on wear resistance when used as a cutting tool
on hard non-ferrous materials. Test results have shown that tungsten
carbide with a Cobalt percentage of 6% and more is machinable with
good results.
Results which are achieved with a CVD-Diamond
tool with radius of 0,8mm on Tungsten Carbide with 10% Cobalt and Hardness
