Diamond applications
Diamond is the hardest abrasive material in the world.
Its hardness, wear and thermal resistance made the diamond the most appropriate abrasive to machining such materials as:
Hard metal
Cermet
Hard metal/steel combinations
Glass
Quartz
Ceramic materials of all kinds
Ferrotitanite
Carbide-based powder coating
Graphite
Polycrystalline diamond and CBN blanks
Ceramic magnetic materials
Glass and carbon-fiber reinforced synthetic materials
Tungsten Carbide
CBN applications
CBN is the second material after diamond. CBN is produced similarly to the diamond by high pressure and high-temperature aynthesis. Due to their chemical features and considerable lower wear, CBN tools are used for grinding such hard-to-process steels as:
HarHardened high-speed steel (HSS)
High alloyed steels with at least 55 HRC
Case-hardened steels
Iron-based powder coatings
Chill castings
Soft steels in certain applications
Stellite
CDX applications
CDX is a special superabrasive material with the performance between diamond and CBN. It is mainly used to grind the compound of hard&fragile material (like TCT) and Ferrous material (like Chilled steel).
