The CVD cutting material is harder than PCD and twice as wear-resistant. Because of this and its other properties, CVD delivers various benefits when milling and turning - from rough machining to micro milling - of long-chipping aluminum and magnesium alloys, high-silica aluminum as well as of precious metal alloys, plastics with abrasive fillers, tungsten carbide and ceramic green compacts.

In addition the controlled chip break guarantees process reliability, the reduced cutting force protects the spindle and allows the narrowest of tolerances even with delicate components. The sharp blade offers special advantages in processing CFRP, GFR and their composites.

Laser equipment is used to cut out the segments from the CVD-D blanks; these are then attached to the one-cutter inserts or milling cutters by brazing under vacuum. The chip-breakers and cutting edges are also laser formed.

The undulating-chip breaker reduces contact of the chip with the insert surface, which considerably reduces heat formation and energy consumption. The extreme chip angle of up to 25° produces a soft cut and reduces burr formation to a minimum. This increases tool life compared to PCD cutters.

Sumitomo Electric Carbide has expanded its WDX drilling series with the addition of new large diameter drills. The new addition now provides customers with additional drilling solutions, and is comprised of diameters ranging from 0.5625” – 2.625” in 2XD, 3XD, 4XD and 5XD drill body lengths.

In the first expansion phases, ISO inserts in types C, D and V along with different types of milling cutters were equipped with the CVD thick film. The next phase will include Supermini® and Mini tool systems.

AE-VMS short series endmills designed for stable milling application, ideal for wide range of material like Carbon steel, Alloy steel and Stainless steel to Titanium alloys and Ni alloys.

All WDX diameters use the same four-cornered indexable insert for the outer and inner pocket to provide a cost-effective drilling solution and easy tool management. The DL1500 (Diamond-Like Carbon coating) insert grade is available for non-ferrous materials to increase insert toughness. The series uses two inserts per drill, regardless of diameter size.

The  long tool life of diamond tools combined with an optimized chip-breaker on the CVD diamond cutter can increase machining productivity by up to 35 per cent and reduce processing costs by up to 80 per cent. For high performance machining and continuous turning applications, various inserts with wiper geometries were developed.
