Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed analysis of diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) tools used in various industrial applications. It covers the distinctions between natural and synthetic diamonds, the properties of CBN, and their respective uses in tool manufacturing.
Natural and Synthetic Diamonds: Natural diamonds are rare and used in specialized applications like wire drawing dies and drill bits. Synthetic diamonds are mass-produced and customizable, enhancing the workability of hard materials such as stone and concrete.
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN): CBN is a synthetic material known for its hardness, second only to diamond, with excellent heat resistance and mechanical strength. It is primarily used in grinding tools for hard steels and alloys.
Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) and Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN): Products like SuNPAx and SuNNITE, made from polycrystalline diamond and CBN powders, are used in precision cutting tools for machining extremely hard materials.
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Diamond: CVD diamond films are utilized in precision tools such as microdrills and TAB tools, offering enhanced performance in advanced technology applications.
Applications and Products: The document lists various tools and their applications across industries, including automobiles, electrical machinery, semiconductors, and construction. These tools include grinding wheels, cutting tools, and honing stones, each designed for specific materials and processes.
Grinding Tools: Different types of grinding wheels are detailed, such as vitrified bond CBN wheels for camshafts and internal grinding, resin bond CBN wheels for double-disc surface grinding, and electroplated CBN wheels for high precision applications.
Conclusion: Asahi Diamond is a leading producer of diamond and CBN tools, enhancing product performance and value through superior technological capabilities. These tools are integral to manufacturing processes across various industries, contributing to technological advancements and production efficiency.

Natural diamond Natural diamond is produced in only a few favored places in the world because of the very unusual conditions under which it occurs. Rough diamonds are used in wire drawing dies, drill bits, dressers, etc. synthetic diamond Synthetic diamond is different from natural diamond in that it can be mass-produced and that optimum properties for particular applications can be imparted to it. Synthetic diamonds play an important role in improving the workability of hard, brittle materials, such as stone, concrete, and carbides. cubic Boron Nitride (cBN) Like synthetic diamond, CBN is artificially...
