Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What materials can SC-type PCD
inserts cut?
A: Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, magnesium), carbon-fiber
composites, high-silicon alloys, and graphite.
Q2. Can they machine hardened
steels?
A: No. PCD reacts with iron at high temperature. Use PCBN inserts for ferrous
or hardened steels.
Q3. What cutting speeds are
recommended?
A: Typically 800–3,000 m/min for aluminum; adjust for work material and machine
rigidity.
Q4. Is coolant required?
A: Not necessary. Dry machining works well; an air blast or light mist can
assist chip evacuation.
Q5. How does tool life compare to
carbide?
A: PCD inserts typically last 5–10 times longer than premium carbide.
Q6. Are these inserts
re-sharpenable?
A: Yes. Specialized service centers can regrind or re-tip the PCD edge.
Q7. What feed rates are typical?
A: For finishing, 0.05–0.25 mm/rev; higher feeds possible for softer
non-ferrous materials.
Q8. Do they require special tool
holders?
A: No, they fit standard ISO SC-type holders.
Q9. How should these inserts be
stored?
A: Keep in protective cases in a dry, vibration-free environment to avoid
chipping.
Q10. Are they suitable for abrasive
composites like CFRP or GFRP?
A: Yes, PCD is excellent for carbon- and glass-fiber composites, minimizing
delamination and tool wear.
