Sandvik Coromant and Precorp have reached a cooperation agreement with the aim of being a joint solution provider for composite machining.

As partners, the two companies will provide products using PCD vein technology and innovative carbide solutions as well as application know how for the composite industry. The PCD vein technology incorporates a precision sintered slot of PCD onto the cutting edge improving the quality and efficiency of the tool.

The partnership secures the development of innovative solutions from Sandvik Coromant and Precorp and strengthens the niche for diamond-based cutting tools, particularly in the rapidly growing composite aerospace segment.

Sandvik Tooling acquired 49% of the shares in Precorp during 2008. Precorp is based in Spanish Fork, Utah, USA.
