Features and application areas of PCD Inserts

In the definition of PCD Inserts, PCD is the abbreviation of polycrystalline diamond in English. Most of the industrial use is pcd composite sheet. PCD Inserts are blades that use pcd composite sheets as raw materials.

PCD Inserts have excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, long life, and a wide range of applications. Therefore, the amount of PCD Inserts is increasing year by year.

With the superior properties of high hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, long life, and a wide range of applications, PCD inserts are currently used in an increasing trend year by year.

Although PCD Inserts have high hardness, they are only suitable for processing non-ferrous metals and non-metallic materials, such as: aluminum, aluminum alloy, high silicon aluminum, copper, copper alloy, titanium alloy, carbon fiber composite material, glass fiber, composite material and other materials.

Ferrous metal materials cannot be machined due to the nature of PCD Inserts, which can cause chemical reactions at high temperatures and damage the tool.

In the finishing of some ferrous metals or the machining of small allowances, under the condition of well-controlled cutting temperature, and the finishing of non-ferrous metals, PCD Inserts show extremely strong wear resistance.

Three Features of PCD Inserts

1. PCD inserts can withstand higher line speeds, so the processing efficiency can be greatly improved.

2. PCD Inserts have high hardness, strong wear resistance and longer tool life. This feature greatly improves the popularity of PCD Inserts under the current situation of high labor costs.

3. Higher surface finish and flatness.

Applications of PCD Inserts

1. Engine industry: Engine technical specifications have extremely high requirements on flatness. Compared with carbide inserts, PCD Inserts can obtain better flatness. Moreover, the long tool life ensures the consistency and precision of the product size.

2. 3C industry: the use of many aluminum materials, and, in order to obtain a good feel, the final surface treatment of the shell of the communication product is sprayed with fine sand and then anodized, which requires no obvious knife lines in the machining process. 

And color differences. Under such extreme processing requirements, PCD Inserts are unique.

3. Aerospace industry: With the rapid development of science and technology, many composite materials, fiber materials, etc. are currently used in aircraft. PCD inserts is a rising trend in the aerospace field. 

Long tool life, product size consistency is guaranteed. Reduce the labor intensity of workers and do not need to change tools frequently. Therefore, the development of PCD Inserts in the aerospace field is inevitable to maintain an upward trend.

4. Automotive industry: Automotive aluminum alloy materials are now widely used in the industry, and play a great role in the lightweight and miniaturization of automobiles. PCD Inserts with excellent performance are one of the important factors in the development of the automotive industry

5. Construction industry: Aluminum, aluminum alloy and other materials are often seen in the construction industry. Aluminum has the advantages of light weight and corrosion resistance, and is used in suspended ceilings, aluminum squares, aluminum veneers, and aluminum curtain walls. 

The aluminum processed with PCD Inserts has a smooth surface, enhanced corrosion resistance, and extended service life, which is an advantage over other knives.
