- Ceramic tools are fixed to the tool using the brazing process. Ceramic tools normally have higher tool life than carbide tools.
- Cutting tools play a vital role in the efficiency and reliability of manufacturing processes. Super abrasive materials containing diamond and or/cubic boron nitride provide enhanced machining performance over conventional materials and are widely used as tool inserts.
- Due to the high material cost of super abrasives, fabrication techniques have been developed and optimized to reduce the number of super abrasives in the insert.
- The super abrasive tip is attached to a corner or edge of the insert body by a brazing process. Brazing provides enough binding force to withstand the cutting forces and heat and is a convenient method to attach small abrasive tips.
- In brazing two metal items are joined together using a filler metal which flows to the joint by capillary action. The melting point of filler metal is lower than that of adjoining metal
- Brazing uses higher temperatures than soldering for a process and involves the parts to be closely fitted.
- In welding, the workpieces are also melted but in brazing, they are not.
