Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which materials are best suited
for TP PCD inserts?
A: Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, magnesium), carbon-fiber
composites, plastics with high silicon content, and graphite.
Q2. Can they be used on hardened
steels?
A: No. PCD reacts with iron at high temperatures. For hardened steels, use PCBN
inserts.
Q3. What cutting speeds are
recommended?
A: Typically 800–3,000 m/min for aluminum; adjust based on machine rigidity and
workpiece.
Q4. Is coolant required?
A: Often not; dry machining is possible. An air blast or light mist can help
with chip removal.
Q5. How does tool life compare with
carbide?
A: PCD inserts typically last 5–10 times longer than premium carbide under
similar conditions.
Q6. Can the inserts be re-tipped or
re-sharpened?
A: Yes, specialized service centers can regrind or re-tip PCD edges to extend
life.
Q7. What feed rates work best?
A: 0.05–0.25 mm/rev for finishing; higher feeds possible for softer non-ferrous
materials.
Q8. Are special holders needed?
A: No, they fit standard ISO TP-style holders.
Q9. How should PCD inserts be
stored?
A: In their protective cases, in a dry environment, away from impact or
abrasion.
Q10. Can they cut abrasive
composites like carbon fiber?
A: Yes, PCD is excellent for carbon- and glass-fiber composites, minimizing
delamination.
