DIN ISO 22180:2018-05

This International Standard deals with diamond tools whose cutting edges are made of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond, either as a solid single piece or as a coating. These cutting edges consist of polycrystalline diamond produced by various CVD methods. This International Standard aims at presenting a logical classification of CVD diamond tools as well as their manufacture. In order to differentiate the CVD diamond tools from tools with monocrystalline synthetic or natural diamond (MCD or monocrystalline diamond) or with sintered diamond with a binder phase (PCD or polycrystalline diamond), the structure and characteristics of MCD and PCD tools with binder phase are also briefly described. This International Standard serves to improve communication between the manufacturers and users of CVD diamond tools and defines the quality characteristics of these tools.
