What are diamond tools and their uses

What is a diamond tool? Because of its incomparable performance advantages, diamond tools have become the only recognized and effective tool for processing hard and brittle non-metallic materials. For example, only diamond tools can process superhard ceramics, and there are no other substitutes. Diamond grinding wheel is used to grind hard alloy, which is 10000 times more durable than silicon carbide. Using diamond abrasive instead of silicon carbide abrasive to process optical glass, the production efficiency can be increased several times to dozens of times. The service life of diamond polycrystalline drawing die is 250 times longer than that of hard alloy drawing die.

What is the diamond tool? The use of diamond tools

1、 Definition of diamond tools
Diamond tool refers to the tool product that is used to consolidate diamond (generally refers to artificial diamond) into a certain shape, structure and size with a binder and is used for processing.
Broadly speaking, diamond grinding paste, rolling saw blade, cold inlaid diamond wire drawing die, cold inlaid diamond cutting tool, brazed diamond composite cutting tool, etc. also belong to diamond tools.

2、 Classification of diamond tools
1. According to the bond, there are three categories of diamond tools: resin, metal and ceramic bond. Metal bonding process can be divided into sintering, electroplating and brazing.
2. According to the use structure:
(1) Grinding tools – grinding wheel, roller, roller, edging wheel, grinding plate, bowl mill, flexible diamond polishing pads, etc;
(2) Sawing tools – circular saw blade, row saw, rope saw, cylinder saw, band saw, chain saw and wire saw;
(3) Drilling tools – geo metallurgical bit, oil (gas) well bit, engineering thin-wall bit, stone bit, glass bit, etc;
(4) Other tools – trimming tools, cutting tools, wire drawing dies, etc.
(5) Compared with metal binder carcass, resin and ceramic binder carcass have lower strength and are not suitable for sawing, drilling and trimming tools. Generally, only abrasive products are available.

3、 Application of diamond tools
Diamond is hard, so the tools made are especially suitable for processing hard and brittle materials, especially non-metallic materials, such as stone, wall and floor tiles, glass, ceramics, concrete, refractory materials, magnetic materials, semiconductors, gemstones, etc; It can also be used to process non-ferrous metals, alloys and wood, such as copper, aluminum, hard alloy, quenched steel, cast iron, composite wear-resistant wood, etc. At present, diamond tools have been widely used in construction, building materials, petroleum, geology, metallurgy, machinery, electronics, ceramics, wood, automobile and other industries.
