Cutting materials
Hardness compared
Schematic representation – the order follows the typical hardness ranges of the cutting materials. The harder, the more wear-resistant, but also more brittle.
- SCSolid carbideThe standard for modern end mills, drills and reamers – for high cutting speeds, usually coated.
- PCDPolycrystalline diamondFor aluminium, copper, brass, graphite as well as CFRP and GFRP – not for steel.
- HSS‑EHigh-speed steel with cobaltTough and resistant to breakage – for drills, taps and countersinks, even under difficult conditions.
- PM‑HSS / ASPPowder-metallurgical high-speed steelFiner structure and more wear-resistant than HSS‑E – for high-performance taps and end mills.
- HCCarbide indexable insertsReplaceable cutting edges for turning, milling and drilling – economical thanks to simple edge changes.
- CBNCubic boron nitrideThe hardest cutting material after diamond – for hardened steel above 45 HRC and cast iron.
- CERMETCeramic-metal compositeFor fine surfaces when finishing steel.
- CVDCVD diamondPure diamond without a soft binder phase, highest wear resistance – for CFRP, GFRP, graphite and ceramics.
- MCDMonocrystalline diamondA single diamond crystal with an extremely sharp edge – for high-gloss and mirror finishes in non-ferrous metals and plastics.
