PCD CATE grades.
The choice of material makes the difference.
When it comes to PCD tools, quality does not depend only on geometry or final machining.
It depends on the choice of raw material. CATE PCD grades are the best you can find on the PCD tool market for the most diverse applications.
OUR PCD DEGREES
PCD series DX500
The PCD CATE grades of the DX500 series are designed to offer the best balance between tool life, surface quality, and process stability. Each grade is made to meet specific needs.
DX501
High-precision finish
DX503
Maximum wear resistance
DX502
The universal angle
Ultra-fine grade (~2 µm)
The DX501 grade is designed for applications where surface quality is a priority.
Extremely precise cutting edge
High polishability
Ideal for tight tolerances
Applications:
Low-silicon aluminum
Non-abrasive materials
Complex tools
Medium grade (~10 µm)
DX502 is the most versatile grade in the range, the true balance point.
Excellent wear resistance
Good cutting edge quality
High reliability
Applications:
General machining
Light alloys
Standard production
It is the ideal choice for most industrial applications.
Coarse grain (~25 µm)
Designed for highly abrasive materials.
High tool life
Extreme wear resistance
Lower surface quality than fine grades
Applications:
High-silicon aluminum
Composites
Abrasive materials
How to choose the right grade
The choice depends on the trade-off between:
Surface quality → DX501
Versatility → DX502
Life on abrasive materials → DX503
A correct grade selection allows you to:
reduce the cost per part
increase productivity
improve process stability
