CVD Diamond Film Cutting Tools

The advantages of diamond in metal cutting are well known. Diamond is the hardest substance on earth, has a very low coefficient of friction and coefficient of thermal expansion and exhibits thermal conductivity several times that of copper.

CVD diamond tools provide performance 2 to 3 times that of PCD tools because of these properties and its superior chemical and thermal stability. As a result, CVD Diamond cutting tools find applications in machining green ceramics, abrasive composites, high silicon-filled aluminum, graphite and other difficult materials.
