Diamond & CBN Tools
Braised Bond
UKAM Industrial manufactures and offers all types and forms of braised bond diamond tools. Such as diamond wheels used for grinding, diamond cut off wheels use for cutting, diamond core drills and bits used for drilling, reaming and milling. Diamond router bits, carving points and form tools used for shaping and forming. Complex tool shapes can be made,
Large variety of Diamond & CBN grit sizes from 40 to 1,200 mesh can be used to achieve the clients desired surface finish, cutting speed, tool life and consistency. Diameters from small as .080" to large as 30". Popular specifications that are used across many different applications are kept in stock as part of our standard stock program. Custom Tool specifications in this bond can be produced per your specification and requirements with short lead time.
Application of Brazed Bond Tools
Brazed Bond Diamond Tools are perfect for machining tough-to-cut materials where fast stock removal and deep cuts are required. Including applications such as: non-metallic materials such as graphite epoxy, FRP, graphite, fiberglass, friction material, honeycomb and other composites.
Examples of Industries Used in
- Ophthalmic Lens
- Composites
- Construction
- Quartz
- Carbide
- Silicon
- Granite / Marble
- Fired and pre-fired Ceramics
- Plastics Industry
- Glass
- Graphite
- Ceramics (pre fired & post fired)
About Brazed Bond
Brazed Diamond Tools are produced using and process that creates a fusion between the diamonds and the metal bond. While they may appear similar to electroplated (nickel bond) diamond tools. They are produced utilizing completely different process. Brazed Bond Diamond Tools are produced inside vacuum oven at a high temperature, single layer of diamond crystal bonded to steel body with very high diamond exposure. Not only does it promote high diamond exposure, but it also eliminates the loss of diamond particles through pull-out. The diamond section will not strip or peel from the steel body. This translates into multiple benefits, including: aggressive tools that last longer, cut faster, run cooler and load less, providing increased productivity and part consistency.
Advantages of
Brazed Bond Diamond Tools
- Very fast & aggressive cutting speed
- Maximum diamond crystal exposure
- Ideal for hard to machine materials
- Strong retention of diamond grits
- Can be used at faster cutting speeds
- Can be used dry and tough environments
- Less Required Power
- Capability to Retain Form
- Minimizing & Often Eliminating Need for Dressing
- Ability to Strip and re-plate the tool (re-use)
- Lower Cost
