Compax® PCD Tool Blanks

Polycrystalline diamond blanks and cut shapes for round tools and inserts that provide exceptional accuracy and cutting performance

Compax® PCD tool blanks are a premium polycrystalline diamond product line of full-round blanks and cut tips manufactured to offer the highest levels of performance, dimensional consistency, and microstructural integrity used in the most precision machining applications.

Hyperion's Compax® round tool blanks are widely applied in machining non-ferrous and non-metallic materials. The tungsten carbide substrate of the blank provides mechanical support to the diamond layer, increasing its impact strength and allowing it to braze attachments in finished tool fabrication easily.

Hyperion manufactures a complete line of high-quality sintered Compax PCD in various sizes and shapes. Hyperion offers a 58mm usable diameter blank in overall thicknesses ranging from 0.6 mm to 8.0 mm in standard, tight tolerance, and thick PCD layers.

Compax® PCD Tool Blanks Applications

 

Compax PCD tool blanks are used in automotive, aerospace, construction, and electronic machining applications. PCD excels in machining aluminum, copper, carbide, ceramics, wood, plastics, and other non ferrous and non metallic materials.

 

Compax® PCD Tool Blanks Benefits

 

PCD consists of diamond particles sintered together with a metallic binder at high temperatures and pressures and features a tungsten carbide substrate. It combines high hardness, high abrasion resistance, a low coefficient of friction, and good impact resistance. The mechanical support of the diamond abrasive layer increases its impact strength and allows ease of braze attachment in finished tool fabrication.

Hyperion has developed Compax PCD to enhance part quality and reduce production costs by generating a higher material removal rate and improved cycle times, providing more parts per shift. Thus, it offers significantly faster cutting speeds, improved workpiece quality with excellent dimensional control, consistent surface finishes, reduced scrap, and longer tool lifespans than conventional cutting tools.

Hyperion offers several grades of Compax® PCD in a wide range of grain sizes.
