Development Trend of Diamond Tool Industry in the Future

Diamond tool manufacturers has realized that diamond tool has held a dominant position in the numerical control machine tool industry, and also shoulders an important role to offer key equipments for manufacturing industry at the same time. Manufacturing processing technology is strongly influenced by the overall level of diamond tool industry, and the development of manufacturing industry will also promote the development of diamond tool industry.

Manufacturing industry has promoted the development of diamond tool, and the concrete development trends have the following several aspects:

A. More cemented carbide materials and coating application. Fine particles and ultra-fine grain cemented carbide materials are the development direction; Nano coating, the of gradient structure coating layer and new structure materials will improve the performance of cutting tools; The applications of physical (PVD) coating continue to increase.

B. The applications of new diamond tool materials increase a lot. The toughness of ceramics, metal ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, PCBN, PCD and other cutting tool materials is enhanced, and the application fields are also increasing.

C. The cutting technology has got rapid development. High speed cutting, hard cutting and dry cutting continue to develop rapidly, and its application scope is also expanding rapidly.

D. Diamond tool research needs to become more targeted. The focus of the research and development of diamond tool manufacturers is no longer a general brand and generic structure. In the face of complex applications and processing conditions, they need to research and develop targeted and stronger blade channel structure and the corresponding supporting tools instead of general channel, blade and cutting tools.

E. Diamond tool manufacturers need roles transition. They change from diamond tool manufacture, supply, extending to the development of new cutting technology and the corresponding development of complete set technology and solution, to provide users with comprehensive technical support and services.

F. They need to improve informatization degree and diamond tool manufacturing enterprise cooperation, which will strengthen the market competition.

The above points are the future development directions of diamond tools, and development opportunities of diamond tool manufacturers as well.
