Whenever hard metal no longer provides roughness required, PCD comes into play. This abbreviation stands for poly-crystalline diamond, a special material wih is 80% to 90% composed of diamond artificially acquired through sintering on a carrier in hard metal with a synthesizing process carried out at extremely high pressures and temperatures.
The remining percentage is made up of cobalt and other materials that act as catalysts. The difference between PCD tools snd hard metal tools is macroscopic: cutting speed increases about ten-fold, productivity increases twenty and at times fifty-fold, the risk of forming carry-over cutting edges is pratically eliminate - all to the benefit of the roughness of the piece o be produced. These are the reasons why AZ F.I.U.S. , evere attentive to the increasingly pressing demands of a market that constantly develops new and extremely wear-resistant materials ( for example aluminum alloys and silicon ), has now introduced a new design concept and sophisticated CNC machines with the capacity to produce tools built with PCD. These can effortlessy work materials whose shavings would be highly problematic for traditional tools.
