The origins of diamond-cutting tools can be traced back to 1856, but the industry has seen significant growth in the last 50 years. Since cobalt is expensive and toxic, DCT manufacturers look for a low-cost alternative to replace cobalt without compromising DCT strength. Pune-based Industrial Metal Powders India Pvt. Ltd manufactures IMPALLOY, a well-known brand of pre-alloyed powders that serve as the best alternative material for Diamond Cutting Tools.
The consistency of homogeneous materials is demonstrated by pre-alloyed powders derived from elemental powders. Pre-alloyed powders have a competitive advantage over other elemental powders. They can be tuned to the desired hardness, brittleness, ductility, densities, compressibility and particle sizes. They have a high sintering strength and contribute to a lower sintering temperature. Pre-alloyed powders’ stable physical properties and customizability make them ideal for manufacturing robust diamond-impregnated cutting tools.
IMPALLOY by IMP is a series of pre-alloyed powders, mostly iron-based, manufactured under strict quality control guidelines. IMP’s world-class facility and technology enable the production of tailored pre-alloyed powders to meet the demands of the diamond-cutting tool industry. It has the potential to benefit the DCT industry in the long run.
