Mechanical Tooling Wear-contact parts

Diamond Wear Components

For contacts that must hold their geometry under repeated mechanical use.

Good to know

  • Contact shape and loading determine which surfaces need the highest finish.
  • Mounting must support the diamond without excessive local stress.
  • A finished wear part is defined by the contact geometry as well as the material.
