CVD

SPR Abrasives offers two high-performance grades of CVD diamond for dressing applications: CVD-SP and CVD-HQ. Both are engineered using a DC arc Plasma Jet technique that generates high atomic hydrogen concentrations during synthesis, resulting in diamonds with superior thermal conductivity, fracture strength, and oxidation resistance. CVD-SP provides excellent chipping resistance, durability, and wear stability, making it ideal for general-purpose dressing across various tool profiles. CVD-HQ, with even higher thermal conductivity and wear resistance, is optimized for heavyduty and highprecision operations where maximum tool life and consistency are critical.

POLYCRYSTALLINE CVD Diamond for Dressing Tools

The DC arc Plasma Jet fabrication technique is used to create dressings logs that contain an exceptionally high concentration of atomic hydrogen. As a result, these logs have significantly higher thermal conductivity compared to other methods, even at high growth rates. This attribute proves advantageous for high-speed dressing operations. Additionally, the logs possess increased fracture strength, fracture toughness, and thermal oxidation resistance, along with their superior thermal conductivity. These properties collectively make them an ideal choice for high performance dressing. Furthermore, since they are made of polycrystalline material, they also exhibit orientation independence.

APPLICATIONS

These CVD products are compatible with various types of dressers, including single-point, multi-point, blade, rotary, and roller. The selection of the appropriate dresser size depends on the specific application, and we are happy to provide recommendations upon request.

KEY ADVANTAGES

  • Exceptional resistance to chipping and fracture, ensuring prolonged wear
  • Consistent wear resistance across the entire length of the dresser
  • Performance remains unaffected by dressing orientation
  • Outstanding thermal stability for reliable operation
  • Diamond composition without any binder phase, ensuring optimal performance

CVD POLYCRYSTALLINE CUTTING TOOL BLANKS

Our DC arc Plasma Jet technique generates a high concentration of atomic hydrogen, resulting in cutting tool blanks with exceptional thermal conductivity. This makes them perfect for heavy load, high-speed cutting operations. With low friction coefficient, increased fracture strength, and exceptional thermal oxidation resistance, our polycrystalline material is the ideal choice for highperformance cutting.
Additionally, our thick-film CVD diamond technology, developed through dedicated efforts and stringent quality control measures, allows us to offer a comprehensive range of CVD diamond products for cutting tools.

APPLICATIONS

CVD diamond cutting tools are widely used for machining non-ferrous materials,
ceramics, abrasive composites, high silicon-content aluminum alloy, graphite, and
other challenging materials. These tools deliver outstanding performance in cutting
