Market explosion: Soaring demand for high-end manufacturing, with PCD blades as a core growth driver
Release Date:
2025-07-24
With global production exceeding 50 million vehicles, the processing difficulty of lightweight bodies (such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer CFRP) has increased by 300%, driving a 25% annual increase in PCD blade demand. For example, in the processing of Tesla Cybertruck's one-piece die-cast body, Kennametal's Hybrid-Diamond™ composite tools (PCD+CBN) have increased their lifespan by 3 times, saving over US\$100,000 in tooling costs per machine annually.
New energy vehicles and aerospace dual-drive
New energy vehicles: Global production exceeded 50 million vehicles, the processing difficulty of lightweight car bodies (such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer CFRP) increased by 300%, driving the annual growth of PCD blade demand by 25%. For example, in the processing of Tesla Cybertruck's one-piece die-cast body, Kennametal's Hybrid-Diamond™ composite tools (PCD+CBN) increased the lifespan by 3 times, saving more than US$100,000 in tool costs per machine per year.
Aerospace: The amount of composite materials used in a single aircraft increased from 20% to 60%, driving the annual PCD tool market to exceed US$1.5 billion. In the processing of the Boeing 787 aircraft wing beam, Kennametal's KCP25™ series (nanometer-level PCD particles) reduced the single-piece processing time from 12 hours to 3 hours.
Breakthroughs in semiconductor and 3C electronics fields
Wafer cutting: Sumitomo Electric's Diamond Edge™ blade (ultra-fine grain PCD, particle size <1μm) has a chipping rate of less than 0.5μm, meeting the needs of 5nm chip manufacturing, and has obtained long-term orders from TSMC and Intel.
Flexible circuit boards: Sumitomo Electric's Micro-Dice™ series blades are only 0.1mm thick, with a yield rate of 99.9%, driving the annual growth of the tool market in the 3C electronics field by 18%.
