PCD Countersink Drills: Key to Precision Battery Housing Manufacturing
PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) countersink drills, widely used in aerospace carbon fiber composites, are now transforming battery housing production for new energy vehicles. As lightweighting demands grow, their extreme hardness, wear resistance, and long lifespan make them ideal for machining aluminum alloy/composite laminated structures.

Core Advantages Driving Adoption:
 
30+% Higher Efficiency
Unique cutting-edge geometry prevents material adhesion and eliminates burrs/delamination common with traditional tools.
 
8-12x Longer Tool Life
Superior wear resistance reduces part-per-cost for high-volume production.
 
Proven Industry Application
Deployed at leading EV/battery manufacturers for scalable, cost-effective solutions.
 
 
 
3 Critical Applications in EV Battery Production
 
High-Silicon Aluminum Alloy Machining
Solution: Countersink drill using a gradient PCD composite (diamond content 88%-92%) 
▷Performance:
Cutting speed: 300 m/min on AlSi12 die-castings
Tool life: 8-12x longer vs. carbide
Case Study:
Integrated drilling-countersinking tool reduced tray processing time to 3.2 minutes per piece at a top battery manufacturer.
 
 
Delamination-Free CFRP Machining
▷Solution: A suitable negative rake cutting edge design, combined with 5MPa high-pressure internal cooling
▷Results:
Max layer separation: <0.2mm on T800 CFRP
Hole accuracy: ±0.03mm (e.g., 4680 battery boxes)
 
 
Multi-Function Tool Innovation
PCD Drill-Reamer-Countersink Combos enable single-pass drilling, countersinking, and chamfering.
▷Benefits:
70% less tool-change time
30% improved chip evacuation (anti-adhesion design)
Mirror-finished substrate reduces cutting resistance
 
Multi-function PCD tool for battery housing sealing surfaces.
 
Material-Specific Solutions
 
 
Material Challenge PCD Innovation Result
Aluminum Matrix Composites Abrasive particle wear ≥85% diamond content blanks 8x wear resistance
CFRP Interlaminar delamination 3-blade anti-delam + guide columns 99.5% yield rate

 

Our PCD countersink drills utilize a cold laser cutting process (picosecond/femtosecond laser) to achieve a cutting edge profile accuracy of ≤ 5 μm and a surface roughness of Ra < 0.01 μm, meeting the high-precision countersinking requirements of battery box counterbores.
