“TFC” Thick Film CVD Diamond. This outstanding program of cutting tools from TyCarb has such extreme consistent hardness that its wear properties are anywhere from 2 to 10x that of PCD. This diamond is grown in a chemical vapour deposition reactor in thicknesses of 0.5 mm-1.8mm which allows for a wide variety of milling tools and insert geometries. This pure diamond has no binders which allows extreme cutting edge sharpness giving you excellent surface finishes with virtually no cutting pressure. The absence of binders at the cutting edge allows for excellent
thermal conductivity which reduces heat produced at the cutting zone. The extreme sharpness and the pure diamond cutting edge of the TyCarb “TFC” tools avoids chemical interactions with materials or cutting fluids which eliminates failures due to cutting edge erosion. This pure diamond
maintains a sharper cutting edge far longer than that of the standard polycrystalline diamond tools. With this advancement in technology in cutting material, the technology to prepare the cutting tools has also evolved drastically. All of the “TFC” tips produced at TyCarb are adhered using a high vacuum brazing process that ensures excellent quality. Due to the extreme hardness, the cutting edge cannot be ground or eroded thus the manufacturer has invested in High Tech lasers which not only prepare the cutting edges to the highest quality but also allows the 3D cutting edge geometries in various formations prepared in the same quality.

PCD Diamond Laser Chipbreaker Program. TyCarb introduces revolutionary 3D PCD chipbreaking technology for the machining of non-ferrous materials. Through the use of advanced proprietary technology, true 3D PCD chipbreaker forms are produced at the cutting point of the PCD segment. The performance results of this dramatic innovation, which is available in roughing and finishing forms, are unsurpassed chip control and dramatically increased tool life. The higher shear angles integrated within the chipbreaker produces lower cutting pressures and less heat expansion of the workpiece.
The by-product of this machining dynamic is precise dimensional accuracy, eliminating the need for secondary operations while both increasing productivity and reducing operating costs. The controlled short chips coming off the workpiece allow for uninterrupted production runs and practically eliminates costly maintenance stoppages traditionally required when clearing machines of long uncontrolled swarf.
