What is CVD diamond coating?

CVD Diamond (Chemical Vapor Deposition) is a process of coating Nano diamond particles on a Tungsten carbide substrate applying a layer thickness of 6 to 16 microns of a meter. The tungsten carbide substrate has to contain low cobalt content, such as 6% an d has to go through specific surface treatment.

Why are tools coated in diamond?

Diamond has many unique physical properties, and some of those make it an ideal material for cutting tool applications. Of course, it is the hardest known material and is extremely abrasion resistant. In addition, the extremely high thermal conductivity of diamond removes damaging heat from the cutting edge.

How is diamond coating done?

DiaTiger® CVD diamond coating takes place in a vacuum chamber using a hot-filament, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Carbon gases are introduced into the vacuum chamber where high temperatures cause carbon atoms to re-bond into a 100% pure crystalline diamond structure.

What is diamond tool material?

A diamond tool is a cutting tool with diamond grains fixed on the functional parts of the tool via a bonding material or another method. As diamond is a superhard material, diamond tools have many advantages as compared with tools made with common abrasives such as corundum and silicon carbide.

How are CVD diamonds made?

Like HPHT, CVD uses a small diamond seed (often an HPHT diamond). This seed is placed inside a sealed chamber that is heated to over 1,400 Fahrenheit and filled with carbon-rich gases (typically methane and hydrogen). These gases are then ionized into plasma using a technology similar to lasers or microwaves.

What is CVD brand?

CVD Equipment Corporation designs, develops, and manufactures process equipment solutions for R&D, pilot, and production applications. Our products include a complete array of turnkey solutions such as chemical vapor deposition systems, gas & liquid delivery cabinets, gas panels, and related gas abatement systems.

What is PVD and CVD coating?

PVD, or physical vapor deposition, is a line-of-sight coating process which allows for thin coatings and sharp edges. CVD, on the other hand, stands for chemical vapor deposition and is thicker to protect against heat. PVD is typically applied to finishing tools, whereas CVD proves best for roughing.

How long does diamond coating last?

System X Diamond represents a revolutionary advance in paint protection. An exclusive, permanent ceramic coating which imparts a color enhancing gloss while protecting exterior surfaces for the Lifetime of new cars, and up to 8 years on used cars.

Who uses diamond tools?

2. What Are Diamond Tools Used For? Because of the hardness of diamonds and also their high melting point, diamond tools are commonly used in the mining industry. These tools are typically used for drilling and geotechnical operations where high quality and reliability is required.

What is a diamond cutter used for?

Some Of The Uses Of Diamond Cutting Tools Are: PCD Cutting Tools- They are mostly used for the machining of non-metallic and non-ferrous materials. They are used widely in automotive and aerospace industries. High volume operations, extreme tolerances, and greatly abrasive processes are ideal for these tools.
