From high-pressure, high-temperature sintering of PDC/PCD and PCBN products to lapping and polishing to the manufacturing of superabrasive tools. Owing to unique expertise developed in-house to characterize properties of micron diamond and CBN powders – from particle size and particle shape distributions to purity and surface cleanliness to fracture strength and mode - Engis Corporation is on the cutting edge of the development of micron superabrasive powders.
