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.
