What are the differences in performance between cemented carbide cutting tools and PCD cutters (polycrystalline diamond)?
PCD has a very high hardness, but its toughness is not as good as carbide, much lower than high-speed steel, therefore, the main failure form of PCD cutting tool is cutting edge.PCD cutters can effectively process non-ferrous metal materials and non-metallic materials. Such as copper, tungsten and other non-ferrous metals and their alloys, ceramics, hard alloy, various fiber and particle reinforced composite materials, plastics, rubber, graphite, glass and wood, but the diamond is not suitable for cutting steel and other iron materials.
The former is cut by ordinary metal materials, the latter is used for cutting superhard materials
Different cutting objects, PCD cutter durable, but cutting some materials may not be good on the PCD
