Diamond Cutting Pick Domestic Situation & Future Prospect

With large mining machine widely used in unfavorable construction fields such as coal mining, tunnel shield, trench excavation, construction of highway and waterway and channel dredging, cutting pick has been put on an important position as an crucial tool for cutting rock. Today iAbrasive will make an analysis on diamond cutting pick domestic situation and future prospect.

A main performance indicator of diamond cutting pick is resistance to abrasion. To improve its performance, the component material of diamond cutting pick needs to be changed. As is known to all, diamond is currently the hardest material, PCD clad sheet is composed of a mixture of innumerable micro diamond powder and bonding agent sintered in high temperatureand high pressure. Therefore diamond has high strength, high hardness, high wear resistance, impact resistance and good self-sharpening performances, which make it able to be replace alloy and be applied in the mining of coal seams and rock layers.

At present, almost all cutting picks in China domestic market are hard alloy. There are hundreds of alloy cutting pick manufacturers and many large coal mines have their own cutting pick manufacturers. Import and co-invest account for most of the market.

With coal mining scale being enlarged and coal mining efficiency being improved, it becomes still harder for coal mining because the earth layer is more complicated. So the demand for new high abrasion resistant cutting pick becomes more urgent than ever.

In view of the current situation, new high abrasion resistant cutting pick made of CVD diamond is essential. On one hand, it can improve working efficiency; on the other hand, manufacturers can provide appropriate cutting pick products based on coal mining characteristics and performance to improve technology content and push forward China coal mining mechanical accessories progress.
