New even harder graphite types or the increased use of glass fibre reinforced or carbon fibre reinforced synthetics are real challenges. These extreme chipping tasks demand a new type of tool.
Due to their extrem hardness the use of CVD tools becomes essential. CVD is a synthetically produced thick film diamond which will be applied to the carrier either by vacuum soldering or glueing, similar to the PKD chipping tools.
The special characteristics, next to the above mentioned hardness, include high heat conductivity (leading to lower chipping temperatures) and better cutting edge preparation as due to the missing binder a finer cutting edge can be produced. This ensures a higher wear resistance and thereby a longer tool service life.
We provide both ISO tools and special geometries which can be enquired at cvd(at)adamantgmbh(dot)de.
