This case study highlights tests conducted by various companies to evaluate the performance of PCD (polycrystalline diamond) tools compared to traditional materials. The results demonstrate that PCD tools consistently outperform competitors in various applications, particularly in a reaming operation for hydraulic cylinder bores. The data indicates that while PCD tools machined 402,500 pieces, carbide tools only managed 19,500. The cost-efficiency is striking, with total tool costs per piece reduced by 50% when using PCD.

PCD case studies • The following are excerpts taken from tests performed by various companies. • The objective of the tests was to determine the performance of PCD tools compared to other materials • As you can see, PCD outperformed in every case
This last example is a reaming application using PCD cutters in machining hydraulic cylinder bores. Final result PCD machined 19,200 pieces, carbide 1,200 pieces
Final results were PCD tool 402,500 pieces machined, carbide 19,500 pieces. Total tool cost per piece decreased 50%
