Compax* 1800 Industrial diamond tool Blanks Bimodal Diamond Grain Structure for Severe Applications

Diamond Innovations introduces a new bimodal diamond grain layer. Compax* 1800 is a highly abrasi- ve resistant grade of polycrystalline diamond integral- ly bondedto a tungsten carbide substrate. The extre- mely dense PCD structure of Compax 1800 consists of polycrystalline Man Made* Diamond with a specially engineered bimodal grain distribution. This new innovative parting tool blank design is engineered to achieve maximumabrasion resistance for applications in nonferrous and nonmetallic materials. Field test results with Compax 1800 show performance impro- vements up to 2X over competitive PCD materials.
