Grits for CSE / Diamond Grit / CBN Grit / Micron™
Element Six provides synthetic diamond and CBN grits engineered for grinding, cutting, and polishing across tough materials. Diamond grits offer extreme hardness and wear resistance for ceramics, glass, and composites, while CBN grits excel in grinding hardened steels and ferrous alloys. Available in uncoated or coated forms—with coatings like nickel or copper to enhance retention, thermal stability, and bond strength—these grits ensure reliable tool performance. E6 also supplies micron diamond and CBN powders for fine finishing, lapping, and polishing in industries such as optics and semiconductors, with precise size control and consistent quality.
Diamond Grits used in Construction, Stone, and Extraction (CS&E) applications. Element Six’s CSE synthetic diamond grit range is designed for demanding construction, stone and extraction applications. The uncoated grits, such as the SDB1000 Series and Maxigrit™, deliver proven quality, consistency, and controlled particle size, shape and strength for reliable tool performance. For even greater durability, the coated grits (TC, TF, TB) feature active chemical bonding to enhance diamond retention, protect particles during sintering, and extend tool life by up to 50%, while also enabling faster cutting rates and the use of lower-cost bond materials.
Diamond grit is the hardest abrasive, ideal for grinding and finishing hard, brittle materials like ceramics, glass, and wafers. CBN grit, the second hardest after diamond, is best for grinding ferrous materials such as steels and superalloys. Element Six designs both for high consistency, performance, and extended tool life.
Micron+™ by Element Six is a premium range of synthetic diamond and CBN micron powders developed for ultra-fine finishing processes, including grinding, lapping, and polishing. Manufactured with proprietary size-segregation and shape analysis technologies, Micron+™ delivers exceptional consistency, tighter particle size distribution, and superior surface quality. With options for tailored coatings, cladding, and customized particle shapes, it is engineered to meet the demanding needs of industries such as optics, semiconductors, electronics, and automotive—where precision, reliability, and repeatable performance are critical.
