U-Series PCD

Process EDM and EDG faster to improve the efficiency of fabrication and regrinding in machining applications, maximizing tool longevity and cost savings.

U-Series PCD is designed for tools used in machining wood and wood-like materials, stone, concrete, cement board, and other difficult-to-machine workpieces. U-Series is an excellent choice for optimizing costs without sacrificing reliability in machining applications where competitiveness and consistency are critical.

Hyperion Materials & Technologies offers a U-Series PCD portfolio designed with improved fabrication ease and tool handling in mind. This portfolio features multiple grades with tungsten carbide within the PCD layer (see "WC" grades.) The addition of tungsten carbide enables toolmakers to electric discharge machine (EDM) and electric discharge grind (EDG) faster, resulting in more efficient fabrication and regrinding, thereby maximizing tool longevity and cost savings.

U-Series PCD Applications

 

U-Series PCD is designed for woodworking, stone machining, and other nonferrous and nonmetallic materials in various applications. It offers toolmakers a cost-competitive edge for applications where tool economics are critical. U-Series PCD offers toolmakers a higher level of quality consistency than elsewhere.

PCD is used in woodworking tools such as saw blades, routers, and compression cutters. It enables toolmakers to machine wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), melamine, laminates, and particleboard effortlessly, allowing for higher feed rates and longer tool life than carbide tools, resulting in faster and cleaner cuts.

In stone machining, PCD is used in tools such as saw blades, drills, and milling cutters to cut through various workpieces, including concrete, cement board, and granite. U-Series PCD offers improved wear resistance, enabling higher cutting speeds and achieving precise cuts, thereby reducing downtime and maximizing output.

The exceptional mechanical properties of U-Series PCD make it an optimal choice for carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), acrylics, glass, and other nonferrous materials.
