Corporate History
DIAMETAL AG/SA, founded in 1936 in Biel, Switzerland, specializes in carbide tools and wear parts, as well as diamond and CBN grinding tools. The company expanded internationally with DIAMETAL FRANCE in 1973 and DIAMETAL ITALIA in 1995. They utilize their own grinding tools to manufacture carbide cutting tools, creating synergies valued by global clients. DIAMETAL holds certifications including ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:1996, and OHSAS 18001:1999.

Cutting Materials
The document details various carbide grades such as UG 8, MG 6, MG 7.5, MG 10, and M 10/30, highlighting their compositions and properties like grain size, transverse rupture strength, density, and Vickers hardness. It discusses how different constituents affect hardness, compressive strength, and wear resistance.

Coatings
Coatings improve tool performance by enhancing productivity, reducing machine downtime, and improving surface quality. Technical data provided includes microhardness, coating thickness, friction coefficient, and maximum application temperature for coatings like D10, D20, D30, D40, and D60.

Cutting Data
The document provides detailed cutting data for grooving, parting, and turning processes, specifying cutting speeds and feed rates for materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and titanium.

Turning Process Optimization
Guidelines for optimizing turning processes address issues such as flank wear, notch wear, cratering, plastic deformation, and chip formation. Recommendations include adjusting cutting speed, feed rate, and using coolants.
