PCD tools for aluminium: why use them?

As far as aluminium processing is concerned, PCD tools are the best choice, as aluminium is a non-ferrous material. Furthermore, they are also best suited to the main characteristics of aluminium, such as:

  • Lightness
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Ductility and malleability
  • High electrical, thermal and sound conductivity
  • Reflectivity
  • Amagnetism

PCD tools are the most suitable choice for this type of material.

PCD is also perfect for processing any type of aluminium alloy – not just the classic one – thus enabling a better optimisation between the qualitative, technological, economic and competitiveness aspects of the finished product.

The areas of application of aluminium

Due to its characteristics, aluminium adapts to a wide range of end uses. In fact, the following can be produced from semi-finished products for industrial use:

  • Multilayer pipes
  • Sheets for the food sector
  • Components for the automotive sector
  • Interior and building architecture
  • Barriers against gas, light and humidity

    Aluminium processing tools

    The tools most used for aluminium processing are:

    • High-speed steel (HSS) tools
    • Sintered carbide (SC) tools
    • PCD tools

    However, ceramic and coated tools are not recommended, due to their chemical affinity with aluminium and titanium.

    High-speed steel tools

    High-speed steel tools can process almost any aluminium alloy, but they are especially suitable for processing aluminium alloys with a relatively low hardness and low silicone content.

    Carbide tools

    Carbide tools, on the other hand, are better suited to processing the harder or particularly abrasive aluminium alloys, in addition to those with a high silicone content. In fact, sintered carbide provides a strong wear resistance, even with high processing speeds.

    TOMMASIN’S PCD tools

    As we have already mentioned, if you want to get the best possible performance, as far as aluminium processing is concerned, the best choice is PCD tools. In fact, they adapt to all the various types of aluminium and process the material with a particular level of surface finish. They also have a longer service life than previous tools.

    For this reason, TOMMASIN allows you to:

    In this way, you will always be able to find the tool best suited to the material and type of processing to be carried out.
