The Important Role of PCD Blanks

PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) is a material with high hardness and excellent wear resistance, composed of multiple small crystal grains. PCD blanks have extensive applications in the industrial field, especially in the cutting and grinding tools sector. Its unique properties make it a highly sought-after choice.


Components of PCD Blanks


The main components of PCD blanks are synthetic diamond micropowder and a hard alloy matrix. Through a high-temperature and high-pressure process, under suitable temperature and pressure conditions, the diamond micropowder and metal powder are sintered to form a hard PCD blank with excellent wear resistance.


Notable Characteristics of PCD Blanks


Firstly, PCD blanks possess extremely high hardness, surpassing that of ordinary corundum and hard alloys. Their hardness can reach 5800-10000HV, endowing PCD blanks with outstanding cutting performance, suitable for cutting various high-hardness materials such as cast iron, aluminum alloys, nickel alloys, etc.


Secondly, PCD blanks exhibit excellent wear resistance. Their wear resistance is 5-10 times higher than that of general corundum and hard alloys, significantly extending the lifespan of the tools. This makes PCD blanks an ideal choice for high-efficiency cutting tools, playing an important role in high-speed processing and mass production.


In addition, PCD blanks also have good thermal conductivity and chemical stability. Their high thermal conductivity allows the rapid dispersion of heat generated during cutting, thereby reducing cutting temperature and protecting the cutting tools from thermal fatigue damage. Meanwhile, PCD blanks have high corrosion resistance to acids, alkalis, and most organic solvents, making them suitable for various working environments.


Applications of PCD Blanks


In practical applications, PCD blanks can be used to manufacture various cutting tools such as cutters, drills, turning tools, and milling cutters. These tools are widely used in machinery processing, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, mold manufacturing, and other fields.


Although PCD blanks have many advantages, there are also some limitations. Firstly, due to their high hardness and brittleness, PCD blanks are prone to cracking under impact and collision. 


Therefore, care must be taken to avoid excessive impact during use. Secondly, the manufacturing cost of PCD blanks is relatively high, which makes them more expensive. This limits their application in some areas.


In summary, PCD blanks are widely noticed for their high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and good thermal conductivity. In the industrial field, PCD blanks are extensively used in manufacturing cutting and grinding tools, playing a significant role. With the continual advancement of science and technology, it is believed that PCD blanks will demonstrate their advantages in more fields, bringing more convenience and benefits to people's production and life.
