Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two).
Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time.

On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures and on non-metallic materials or non-ferrous alloys. Since CBN does not exhibit any difficulties in terms of being able to retain its hardness in a wide range of temperatures, it is preferred over diamond abrasives, especially while machining ferrous materials and superalloys.
Superabrasives find applications related to industrial operations such as turning, cutting, buffing, drilling, boring, grinding, finishing, honing, sharpening, and super finishing. Diamond is primarily employed for grinding cemented carbide, glass, ceramics, and hardened tool steel and cubic boron nitride for hardened steel and wear-resistant superalloys.
Superabrasives Market Trends
Orthopedic implant manufacturing creates opportunities for grinding machines. Joint reconstructive surgery includes knee, hip, and shoulder procedures, all of which involve orthopedic implants and associated instrumentation, which typically require grinding during their manufacturing processes. With the orthopedic implants industry expanding every year, the competition among manufacturers of these components is rising as well. The right machine coupled with the CAD/CAM software are the tools needed to effectively respond to the needs of this market.
At the same time, manufacturers are increasingly moving toward harder materials such as cobalt chromium alloys for knees and other parts, which can be machined in one go with added ease. The joint reconstruction sector witnessed significant technological advancements in the past decade. A new trend emerging in the field of knee arthroplasty is the development of patient-specific implants. With the use of 3D scanners and the sculptural computer-aided design (CAD) technology, patient-specific implants can now be designed and manufactured with higher efficiency and at a lower cost. Use of CBN tools, especially in grinding machines in metal processing and the manufacturing of orthopedic implants in the medical industry, propels the market.

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization. Consequently, the demand in the global market for oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment is projected for a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024, according to a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As per the estimations of the TMR report, the global oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market will be worth US$3.65 bn by the end of 2024, significantly up from its evaluated valuation of US$2.02 bn in 2015. Some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market are: development and expansion of existing pipelines and construction of new pipelines, increasing incidents of oil and gas leakages in pipeline and storage tanks at production facilities, and
