PCD tools for aluminium and composites
Polycrystalline diamond for aluminium, non-ferrous metals and composites.
All productsPCD, polycrystalline diamond, is used for applications including aluminium alloys and abrasive composites. Tool geometry and configuration depend on the component and operation. PCD is generally not the first choice for machining steel.
Helpful details for our conversation
- Material grade and silicon content where relevant
- Operation, component geometry and tool interface
- Dimensional, surface finish and burr requirements
Is PCD suitable for my aluminium component?
That depends on the alloy, batch size and operation. The tool designation and component geometry are useful inputs when assessing suitability.
