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:
MCD 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.
PDC cutters are widely used for gas,oli drilling,coal minning etc.Grinding procession will directly influence the quality od PCD cutter.Moresuperhard provide diamond grinding wheel for grinding different parts of pdc cutter like surface grinding,external grinding wheel ,double-sided grinding disc and centerless grinding wheel.
In the grinding industry, ceramic diamond double-end grinding discs have attracted much attention for their high efficiency and high precision. In order to help newcomers quickly master the core knowledge in this field, Moresuperhard specially invited Jim, a sales expert in double-end grinding discs, to conduct a systematic training. From basic concepts to practical applications, this training content is full of practical content. Of course, in order to test the learning results, Jim assigned homework to everyone. The students' answers are all very good, which are summarized as follows for everyone to learn and refer to.
