PCD Milling Picks for Asphalt Road Milling Applications
Explore ALSKAR DIAMOND PCD Milling Picks, developed for professional asphalt pavement milling applications requiring advanced cutting-edge wear resistance.
PCD stands for Polycrystalline Diamond, a synthetic superhard cutting material manufactured from bonded diamond particles.
Unlike conventional tungsten carbide-tipped milling picks, PCD milling picks incorporate polycrystalline diamond cutting elements designed to resist abrasive wear under suitable operating conditions.
PCD Cutting Technology
Polycrystalline diamond offers high abrasion resistance and can help maintain cutting-edge geometry during selected asphalt milling operations.
When properly matched to the pavement and milling equipment, PCD cutting tools may reduce cutting tip wear and the frequency of tool replacement.
Actual performance depends on pavement composition, machine settings, cutting depth, impact loading, and operating conditions.
ALSKAR W6-Type PCD Milling Picks
Our W6-Type PCD Asphalt Milling Pick is designed with reference to the ALSKAR SW6 milling pick configuration.
Key specifications include:
- Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) cutting element
- W6-Type cutting tool body
- 20mm round shank diameter
- 88mm overall length
- 48mm reference length
- Designed for compatible cold milling tool holders
The specific cutting element construction and head configuration should be confirmed from the selected product specifications.
Recommended Applications
PCD milling picks are primarily intended for suitable asphalt milling applications, including:
- Asphalt surface milling
- Pavement rehabilitation
- Road resurfacing preparation
- Selected low-impact milling operations
- Asphalt removal where abrasive wear is a significant consideration
PCD tools are particularly worth evaluating in relatively homogeneous asphalt conditions where severe impact loading is not expected.
PCD vs. Tungsten Carbide Milling Picks
Tungsten Carbide Milling Picks
A practical choice for general asphalt milling applications, with different cutting tip configurations available for a wide range of equipment and operating conditions.
PCD Milling Picks
An advanced cutting option offering high abrasive wear resistance under suitable asphalt milling conditions.
PCD cutting elements may be less suitable for applications involving severe, unpredictable impact loads, exposed steel, or other obstructions.
Choosing the Correct PCD Milling Pick
Before ordering, verify:
- Pavement material and milling conditions
- Cold milling machine model
- Installed tool holder and retaining system
- Required shank diameter and dimensions
- Cutting element geometry
- Impact and abrasive loading conditions
- Tool replacement and maintenance requirements
