Abstract:
An expansion clamping device includes a base body and an expansion socket. The expansion socket is inserted into the base body to form a pressure chamber. The pressure chamber can be applied with a hydraulic medium while elastically deforming the expansion socket, in order to achieve a clamping effect in a receiving space which is open in the axial direction of the base body towards a face side and is surrounded by the expansion socket in the circumferential direction. The expansion socket has an elastically deformable clamping section and a collar projecting outwardly in the radial direction on the face side. The expansion socket bears with a bearing surface of the collar in the axial direction against a contact surface of a contact shoulder of the base body and, at least in the region of the bearing surface, is firmly connected, in particular by a material bond, to the base body. The clamping section transitions into the collar in a transition region, a recess being formed in the expansion socket in the transition region in such a way that the transition region overlaps over the contact shoulder of the base body in regions, the bearing surface of the expansion socket bearing against the contact surface in a radially outer contact region thereof, and the contact surface having a radially inner free region adjacent to the contact region, in which free region the expansion socket does not bear against the contact surface.
Abstract:
Multi-part abrasive tools are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an abrasive tool includes a first body, a second body, and a braze layer that couples the first body to the second body. The braze layer includes a braze alloy having a liquidus temperature and insoluble particles at least partially surrounded by the braze alloy. The insoluble particles are insoluble with the braze alloy at temperatures at least 100° C. above the liquidus temperature of the braze alloy.
Abstract:
A composite diamond body includes a diamond base material and a stable layer disposed on the diamond base material. The stable layer may have a thickness of 0.001 μm or more and less than 10 μm, and may include a plurality of layers. A composite diamond tool includes the composite diamond body. There are thus provided highly wear-resistant composite diamond body and composite diamond tool that are even applicable to mirror-finish planarization of a workpiece which reacts with diamond to cause the diamond to wear.
Abstract:
A cutting tool including a cutting edge part made of cBN sintered material bonded through a brazing material for bonding and a cutting tool body made of WC-based cemented carbide is provided. In the cutting tool, the cutting edge part made of cBN sintered material and the cutting tool body made of WC-based cemented carbide are brazed by using a blazing material for bonding including: 35-40% of Ti in a mass ratio; 35-40% of Zr in a mass ratio; 5-15% of Ni in a mass ratio; and the Cu balance including inevitable impurities.
Abstract:
Contoured helical solid polycrystalline PCD and PCBN superabrasive segments are provided for attachment to cutting tool substrates such as twist drill tips, reamers, burrs and endmills. Segments are provided in near to net shape for attachment to a tool substrate thereby requiring reduced finishing steps and providing increased tailorability of grade and quality of final polycrystalline segments. Cutting tools comprising cutting tool substrates having attached thereto a contoured helical solid polycrystalline PCD and PCBN superabrasive segments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of making a cutter structure comprising super-hard material defining a rake face topology is provided. The method includes providing a pre-sinter assembly comprising a substrate body having a formation surface defining a topology complementary to the rake face topology, and an aggregation comprising a plurality of super-hard grains, the aggregation disposed adjacent the formation surface of the substrate body, the substrate body comprising a source of catalyst or binder material capable of promoting the sintering of the super-hard grains at a pressure and temperature at which the super-hard material is thermodynamically stable; subjecting the pre-sinter assembly to the pressure and temperature to provide a sintered polycrystalline super-hard structure joined to the formation surface of the substrate body at a first major boundary of the super-hard structure and having a second major boundary surface opposite the formation surface; removing the substrate body to expose the first major boundary of the super-hard structure defining the rake face topology. Cutter inserts and machine tools are also provided.
