3. New PCD/PCBN

3-1) Sandwich PCD 
Sandwich PCD is composed of PCD layer that is sandwiched by tungsten carbide layers in both(top & bottom) sides, primarily used for drilling application.

3-2) Laser Weldable PCD
An extra metal layer of PCD tungsten carbide substrate allows a new laser welding that brings lots of benefits over the conventional brazing for manufacturing PCD tipped blades.

Product Offer

  • Blank (52㎜diameter x 3.2㎜thick), (62㎜diameter x 3.2㎜thick)
  • Cut-pieces (wire EDM cut)


Benefit

  • Exceptionally high bond strength at the welding joint between PCD and tool body.
  • No risk of tool failure from unstable thermal stability related preblems.
  • Cost effectiveness from no brazing.
  • Offers both less health hazardous and cleaner environmental operation.


Application for Laser Welded PCD Tools

  • Saw blades for cutting tiles, rocks, cement boards.
  • Saw blades for road grooving cement and asphalt.
  • Core bits for drilling rocks, bricks, ceramics, etc.
  • Others (like conventional PCD tools)



3-3) Double-sided PCBN
With a tungsten carbide material sandwiched in between PCBN materials, compared to an existing solid PCBN, it offers a higher impact strength and better bonding quality as highly rigid PCBN tools.


3-4) ADICO PCBN Cutting Tool Product Application Areas


The range of workpiece materials that Adico PCBN can successfully machine is constantly ex-panding,
but the main material groups are:



1. Hardened steels
2. Hard facing alloys
3. Chilled cast iron
4. Pearlitic grey cast irons


5. Sintered iron
6. Superalloys e.g. Inconel 718
7. Powder metal e.g. automotive valve seats


ADICO PCBN Products


Successful machining applications have been established in the automotive,
aerospace, and manufacturing industries, and some examples are:



High CBN-content PCBN
ADN10, ADN16


ADN10

  • gray cast iron cylinder boring (GG 20/25)
  • nodular cast iron tuning (GGG50, 38-42 HRC with good cylindricity & higher feed rates than other tools)


ADN16

  • brake drum tuning (GG20)
  • TiAl₆V₄ exceptionally good for tuning applications
  • internal gear tuning with very good surface finish
  • ball nose end milling (CF53, 62HRC) with extremely high edge-stability and better surface quality
  • sintered geared tuning (SK72-01, 60HRC)


Low CBN-content PCBN
ADN35C, ADN35N, ADN40C, ADN45N, ADN45C, ADN55N


ADN 35C

ADN 35N

ADN 40C

ADN 45N


ADN 45C


ADN 55N



  • finish machining difficult grey cast irons (milling) and hardened steels
  • severe interrupted turning of hardened steels and die steels
  • continuous & interrupted turning on hardened steels and valve seat
  • turning applications (both continuous and interrupted) of hardened steelsand cast irons for superior surface finish
  • finish turning on case hardened steels and crank shaft, cam shaft, and gears
  • moderate interrupted hard turning, finish hard milling & high speedcontinuous turning It gives an exceptional surface finish to workpiece andprovides toughness to cutting tools
  • grooving cam shafts & surface milling (cold work tool steel)
  • mild & slight interrupted turning of gear shafts
