PCD cutting tools
PCD (poly crystalline diamond) tools are build from a PCD segment consisting out of diamond particles with a seize of typically 2 – 30 µm and a metal binder (usually Cobalt). This enables the production of very sharp edges, whereby sharpness and chipping have a major influence on the service live. The evaluation of the edge geometries requires very high-resolution measurements. This measurement was done within a short scanning time using the smartWLI extended range equipped with a 50x objective.
