CULNICO® EXP10

Pre-alloyed iron-copper bond powder for diamond beads, cutting segments, gang saw tools, rollers and fickerts.

Pre-alloyed bond powder for diamond tool manufacturing

CULNICO® EXP10 is a pre-alloyed iron-copper bond powder with tin, nickel and phosphorus additions, developed for diamond-tool manufacturers that want a stable and already engineered matrix system rather than a blend assembled internally from separate powders.

It fits qualification work on diamond beads, cutting segments, gang saw tools, rollers and fickerts where the target is a repeatable metallic matrix, controlled hardness and an easier transition from laboratory comparison to recurring production batches.

Designed for diamond beads, cutting segments, gang saw tools, rollers and fickerts
Pre-alloyed Fe-Cu bond with Sn, Ni and P additions
Usable in both free sintering and hot pressing qualification routes
Intended for manufacturers that need matrix consistency and controlled production setup

Why manufacturers qualify CULNICO®

Developed for diamond-tool manufacturers looking for a robust and credible alternative to cobalt-based bond systems.
Built to combine cutting performance, matrix resilience and process stability in recurring industrial production.
Suitable for technical comparison, qualification work and production transfer from trial batches to regular supply.

Technical notes

Designed as a true cobalt alternative for diamond tooling, combining high performance, resilience and strong cutting behaviour.
The alloy can be mixed directly with diamond in production batches without complex preparation steps.

What it is used for

EXP10 is used when the manufacturer wants to qualify a ready bond powder for stone and construction tools without rebuilding the Fe-Cu chemistry from separate raw materials.
Its alloy balance is suitable for comparing matrix hardness, sintering response and production consistency on beads, segments, gang saw tools, rollers and fickerts.
In practical use, it should be tested against the current in-house bond on the target application, then refined by adjusting compaction, cycle and tool geometry to match the required cutting behaviour.
