Grinding & polishing
Element Six supermaterials are used across industries including aerospace, automotive, electronics and stone processing.
Element Six develops and manufactures synthetic diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) materials for a wide variety of grinding and polishing applications. Grinding is the use of an abrasive to wear away the surface of a workpiece in a very controlled manner, so as to achieve a precise shape and surface quality. Grinding operations commonly use abrasive grains bonded into a ceramic, plastic or metal grinding wheel.
Element Six produces synthetic diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) materials from coarse sizes a fraction of a millimetre down to micron sizes. These abrasives are the critical components in the premium performance grinding and polishing tools for the precision and construction industries. Element Six grinding products are used in tooling solutions that demand engineered excellence, combined with cost-effective production, across industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics and stone processing.
