PCD and Stainless Steel Brazing – Advancing Tools & Dies Industry
Normantherm•9/24/2025
The successful brazing of PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) to stainless steel is one of the most demanding applications in precision engineering. PCD is renowned for its extreme hardness and wear resistance, while stainless steel offers durability and toughness. The challenge lies in joining these two dissimilar materials without compromising performance.
At Normantherm, our advanced vacuum brazing technology overcomes this challenge by creating a uniform, high-strength bond. The resulting products combine the cutting efficiency of PCD with the resilience of stainless steel, delivering:
Extended tool life with superior wear resistance
High precision for machining and cutting operations
Improved reliability even under demanding industrial conditions
This process plays a vital role in the Tools & Dies industry, where every detail counts. From precision cutting tools to industrial dies, our brazing solutions empower manufacturers to achieve higher productivity, reduced downtime, and consistent results.
By combining innovation, precision, and reliability, Normantherm continues to be a trusted partner for industries seeking advanced brazing solutions.
An ion source sampling cone sits at the front line of mass spectrometry. It faces high temperatures corrosive gases and constant mechanical stress. The weld quality determines whether the cone delivers accurate results or becomes a source of contamination and drift.
Beryllium copper is a high-performance copper alloy widely used in industries requiring a unique combination of electrical conductivity, strength, elasticity, and wear resistance.
Silver contacts on silicon nitride ceramic heating plates take a beating. High temperatures thermal cycling and mechanical stress eventually take their toll. When the contact degrades heating performance suffers.
