Wear Protection

Not just a question of hardness

Hardness and compressive strength are the key properties of a material. These influence wear behavior and therefore determine the life cycle of components. Because of its hardness and ductility properties and its comparatively good machining possibilities, carbide is often used for wearing components.

Processing diamond as a construction material for high-precision wear protection components calls for
state-of-the-art production technologies and many years of experience: DR. KAISER has both.

However, PCD and CVD diamond offer unbeatable advantages:

Wear protection components made of these extra-hard materials are characterized by lifetimes that are often more than 100 times those of carbide.

Another advantage is the strong frictional behavior compared to steel. Less friction improves component quality and the process behavior in operation.
