Raw Material Security and Reliable Supply as Key Priorities
- Maximum profile accuracy and service life through sintered matrix technology
- Long-term delivery reliability and supply security
- Future-oriented technology alternatives
Extreme mechanical forces occur during the high-precision dressing of grinding wheels. To hold the diamonds in position with micrometer-level accuracy, we utilize a highly advanced sintered metal matrix.
Tungsten powder provides the indispensable physical wear resistance required for this purpose, since a diamond is only as good as the matrix that holds it.
Due to export regulations imposed by China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), the global market price for tungsten powder already more than doubled in 2026, exceeding €314 per kilogram. Learn how we continue to safeguard your production at 100% capacity despite these market conditions:
Secured Supply Agreements
Through strategic long-term framework agreements established by our management and procurement teams, we have firmly secured access to the required tungsten volumes for upcoming production cycles.
Technological alternatives
We are consistently investing in the future. In parallel with sintering technology, we are accelerating the expansion of our capabilities in reverse electroplating (PG type) and vacuum brazing (NCV type) as future-proof, tungsten-free alternatives.
In addition, we continuously optimize our sintered-bond dressing tools by reducing tungsten content wherever possible — without compromising precision or tool life.
100% Delivery Capability
Your production is our highest priority. While global markets are experiencing severe shortages, DR. KAISER remains fully capable of delivering to your requirements. But we have to adjusting our quotation cycles with greater flexibility.
