“For nonferrous metals and non-metals abrasive composites, diamond coating has unmatched hardness, chemical resistivity and lubricity.”
“A recent diamond coating technology from QQC Division of Turchan Technologies Group, in Dearborn, MI, promises a practical, economical method for depositing a controlled thickness of diamond on cutting tool inserts of any shape and geometry. The patent=pending process uses lasers and proprietary technology to produce surface coatings on cylindrical tools, such as drills and reamers.”
“Unlike CVD diamond coating, the QQC coating process uses laser-based techniques to clean, coat and (if necessary) polish a workpiece or cutting tool in a single, highspeed process. The result is usually approximately 1000 times faster than CVD coating.”
“…the QQC process creates a very strong, true metallurgical bond between the diamond coating and the substrate…” “A further advantage of the QQC process is that it uses no wet chemistry…”
