Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD)

Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) is a superhard PCD tool and wear material made from sintered diamond grains, often on a carbide support. It is relevant to cutting tools, dies, inserts and wear-resistant components. For HANS, the machining focus is precision grinding, lapping and edge finishing, with tooling selected around the material’s hardness, brittleness, geometry and required surface condition.

Machining Challenges

Very high hardness and composite interfaces make grinding difficult; edge chipping and damage at the PCD/carbide boundary must be controlled.

Recommended Diamond Tool Solutions

Use precision diamond grinding, lapping and edge-finishing tools optimized for PCD, with low runout and controlled infeed. Laser pre-shaping may be combined with diamond finishing where appropriate.
