Worldia application note
PCD and PCBN serve different applications
PCD tools are considered for high surface quality and long tool life in aluminium, composites, graphite and non-ferrous materials. PCBN tools are particularly suited to hard turning, cast iron, ductile iron and interrupted cutting applications. Choosing the wrong product family directly affects both tool life and component quality.
As Worldia's distributor in Türkiye, Balkanlar Mühendislik evaluates PCD, PCBN, CVDD and MCD products beyond catalogue code matching, considering workpiece material, cutting conditions, required surface finish and the target cost per part.
