Engineering foundation: Superabrasive fusion-bonding technology

Superabrasive Brazing Technology

Based on over 10 years of deep research on diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) interface wettability, we have mastered the core "superabrasive fusion-bonding" technology. This is the engineering foundation of the sp³–sp² platform technology, achieving atomic-level chemical bonding between superabrasives and metal substrates through active fusion bonding, providing precision machining solutions for extreme working conditions worldwide.

Superabrasive fusion-bonding technology

Core capabilities

From interface modification to systems engineering, building the underlying technical foundation of the sp³–sp² platform

Interface modification & bonding

Focused on solving the bonding challenge between superabrasives (Diamond/CBN) and heterogeneous substrates, using active fusion bonding (Active Fusion-Bonding) to form high-strength interface compounds for atomic-level chemical bonding.

Extreme condition adaptation

Providing customized cutting/grinding solutions for "difficult-to-machine materials" such as aerospace superalloys, carbon fiber composites (CFRP), and ceramic matrix composites (CMC), ensuring process stability and efficient machining.

Technology downward compatibility

Translating industrial-grade precision control into underlying process specifications supporting sp³–sp² consumer products (e.g., diamond coating cookware) and industrial thermal management (diamond-copper), enabling continuous technology evolution.

Product design principles: Three-element architecture of superabrasive fusion bonding

Performance of active fusion-bonded superabrasive tools is determined by three core elements: Substrate, Superabrasive, and Active fusion alloy

Substrate

As the abrasive carrier, provides structural support and rigidity for the tool through geometric conformal adaptation to specific machining conditions.

Superabrasive

As micro-cutting tools, undertake material removal (Diamond/CBN), determining tool cutting capability and service life.

Active fusion alloy

As the bonding link, determines overall tool service performance through chemical metallurgical reactions; the key control point for performance.

System design logic

Tool design is not simple element stacking, but comprehensive optimization based on machining object (e.g., superalloys, composites) and working conditions (dry/wet cutting). We perform full-system matching across four dimensions: substrate structure, abrasive selection, placement process, and active fusion atmosphere.

Substrate–active fusion alloy compatibility: wettability, thermal expansion match
Superabrasive–active fusion alloy bonding: interface chemical bonding strength
Machining object material properties: hardness, brittleness, thermal sensitivity
Machining condition effects: cooling method, grinding/cutting mode

Engineering support under extreme conditions

In aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, defense, and other fields, difficult-to-machine materials impose stringent requirements on tool reliability

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC)

Core material for aero-engine hot-section components; extremely difficult to machine, demanding high wear resistance and thermal stability from tools.

High-temperature stability > 1000°C

Carbon fiber composite (CFRP)

Mainstream material for aerospace structures and new energy vehicle bodies; prone to delamination and burrs during machining, requiring precise cutting control.

Low chipping rate < 0.1 mm

Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V)

Key material for aerospace and medical devices; generates high heat during machining, posing dual challenges for tool heat dissipation and strength.

Cutting speed > 80 m/min
