sintering process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diamond is the most durable, naturally-existing material, but some laboratory-produced synthetic diamonds<\/strong> boast a greater <strong>hardness, thermal conductivity<\/strong> and <strong>electron mobility<\/strong> than natural diamond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Polycrystalline diamond is therefore:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><strong>Suitable for cutting tools<\/strong>, as it <strong>maintains the same shape and strength<\/strong>, even if a part of the metal matrix is removed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suitable for processing non-ferrous materials<\/strong>, because it is able to <strong>react to elements such as iron and cobalt<\/strong>, which cause the tool to degrade.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Therefore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tommasin.com\/it\/utensili-pcd\/\">PDC tools<\/a> are produced with the functional part covered with <strong>polycrystalline diamond grains, randomly oriented and bound to a tungsten carbide substrate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact us, to make your PCD tool<\/h2>\n<p>\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f3409-o1\"
