Single crystal diamond tools are almost exclusively used for high-precision finishing, which can ensure extremely high dimensional accuracy. PCD and CVD diamond can be used in many of the same processing fields, and PCD is more suitable for rough machining and processing occasions that require high tool fracture toughness. CVD diamond is better at finishing, semi-finishing and continuous turning, and can process more precise workpieces.

PCD tools are most suitable for processing aluminum and other tough non-ferrous alloys (such as copper, brass, and bronze), as well as highly abrasive composite materials (such as graphite, carbon-carbon materials, carbon-added phenolic, glass fiber, and porous seals material).
Single crystal diamond tools are almost exclusively used for high-precision finishing, and their extremely thin cutting capabilities can ensure extremely high dimensional accuracy. PCD and CVD diamond can be used in many of the same machining areas, but PCD is more suitable for rough machining and machining situations that require high tool fracture toughness. CVD diamond is better at finishing, semi-finishing and continuous turning. This is because it has excellent wear resistance and high hardness, and can process more precise workpieces.
(1)The condition of polycrystalline PCD and single crystal diamond under a metallurgical microscope, the lower left picture clearly shows that the edge of the blade will be jagged, while the right picture is smooth and smooth.
PCD under the microscope 100 times:

(2) Differences in processing:
PCD tools are composed of many fine crystals, so when turning processing, the surface of the workpiece will also show traces caused by small crystal grains.
MCD cutter can directly present the perfect state of the blade on the workpiece.
PCD tools need to be ground because after long-term use, the surface of the tool will accumulate cutting slag, wear and edge failure, resulting in a decrease in cutting performance. Grinding can restore the sharpness and geometry of the tool, extend its service life, and improve processing efficiency and quality.
Alumina ceramic has high hardness (HV1900~2100) and high brittleness (flexural strength 240~260MPa). It is a typical hard and brittle material that is difficult to machine. Its grinding processing cost is high, the efficiency is low, and the surface and subsurface after grinding Crack groups appear in the area, affecting the stability of the workpiece.Moresuperhard have rich experience in grinding ceramic materials and we can recommand suitable grinding wheels for you.Moresuperhard have development different formulations grinding wheel for different ceramics materials.
