Key criteria in choosing between Western and Chinese diamonds
In order to be able to make the best decision when buying cutting diamonds, consider the following checklist:
- Workpiece material: For soft metals, cast iron, brass and common structural steels, Chinese diamond is fully responsive. For superalloys, hardox steels, titanium and hard stainless steels, Western diamond is preferred.
- Machining type: In heavy roughing with high depth of cut, Western diamond has a better structure due to higher toughness; But in normal polishing, Chinese diamonds show a very favorable performance.
- Type of machine: For old manual lathes that have less rigidity and high vibration, it is more logical to use economic Chinese diamonds; Because the vibration of the machine can damage any diamond (even western).
- Available budget: Measuring the amount of the workshop budget and calculating the break-even point of the costs will show you how much of your capital you should allocate to the purchase of tools.
conclusion; The ultimate choice for your workshop
Both Western and Chinese diamond cutting groups have a definite and valuable position in the machining industry. Western diamonds are the epitome of technology, long life and perfect precision and are ideal for sensitive industries and automatic production lines. On the other hand, Chinese diamonds are the best choice for general part-making, medium-sized workshops and reducing current production costs, with continuous improvement in quality and competitive price.
In order to optimize your production process and experience a smart purchase, it is recommended to contact the experienced experts of Hornam company to introduce you the best grade and brand of cutting diamond according to the type of workpiece, machine and your budget.
