Technology (CBN/PCD)

"SUMIBORON" is mainly CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride), a primary component to which special ceramics binder is added and is sintered under extreme pressure and temperature. On the other hand, "SUMIDIA" is a high density sintered diamond compact of ultra-fine diamond particles. Both of these materials have higher hardness and strength, along with excellent heat resistance, as compared to conventional tool materials.

To Manufacture SUMIBORON/SUMIDIA Products

image: 1. Fill Raw Material

Filling Up Raw Material

A special binder material is added to the CBN or diamond raw material powder, and the mixture is filled into a capsule with a carbide support.

Sintering Under Extreme Pressure and Temperature

Using an extreme high pressure and high temperature apparatus, the CBN (diamond) powder, along with its binder material, is sintered at conditions of 5GPa or more, at 1,400 to 1,500℃.
