DiaTiger® Diamond
Coated drills excel in carbon fiber composite applications,
significantly increasing the number holes drilled in aircraft
wing-skins compared with PCD tooling. DiaTiger® coated
drills also excel in high silicon aluminum alloys and fiberglass
reinforced composite applications. This is attributed to DTC’s
unique brand of CVD diamond coating, along with the ability
to coat the entire surface area of complex geometry drills.
