Applications & Material-Specific Advantages
Optimized Geometry for Infrared Materials
Specialized Tool Geometry: -25° rake angle with R0.1-2.0mm edge radius for brittle IR materials (Ge/Si/ZnSe/chalcogenide glass).
Benefit: Prevents micro-chipping and subsurface damage in delicate optical crystals.
Superior Surface Finishing Capability
Mirror-Grade Results: Defect-free cutting edges replicate ultra-smooth surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.01μm).
IR Application Impact: Eliminates post-polishing for infrared lenses, windows, and sensors.
Non-Ferrous Metal Machining Precision
Dedicated Configuration: 0° rake angle with R0.1-1.5mm for aluminum/copper components in IR assemblies.
Application Example: High-Accuracy Machining of Cooling Housings and Structural Parts.
Technical Superiority: Why Our Monocrystalline Tools Excel
Extreme Hardness (90-100 GPa)
- Industry-leading wear resistance → 5- 8x longer lifespan vs. PCD tools in Si/Ge machining.
Zero Edge Defects
- Atomic-level edge integrity → Eliminates surface striations on IR optics.
Anti-Adhesion Surface
- Low chemical affinity with IR materials → Prevents built-up edge (BUE) and material transfer.
Nanometric Edge Stability
- Sustained sharpness under high-temperature cutting → Critical for ZnSe’s low melting point.
- Edge Radius: R0.1mm to R10.0mm (laser-confirmed tolerance ±0.02mm)
- Rake Angle: -45° to 0° (material-specific optimization)
- Clearance Angle: 10°-15° (prevents workpiece rubbing)
- Included Angle: 30°-60° (balance strength vs. penetration)
