Nickel Bond Dicing Blade

Nickel Bond Dicing Blade Key Features

  • The Nickel binder provides superior blade life and lower wear rate
  • Ideal for soft material applications such as: PCB, Silicon and BGA
  • The thinnest blade available, down to .0008”
  • Excellent rigidity for higher exposure
  • Blade thickness up to 0.020″ mil
  • Diamond grit size ranges from 2-4 microns to 70 microns

Annular Nickel Bond Dicing Blade from ADT are produced using a state-of-the-art, tightly controlled electro-forming process, which guarantees a uniform distribution of diamonds throughout the Nickel layer. This process not only allows for blades to be produced to very tight tolerances but also permits optimization of grit size, hardness and geometry to meet the particular requirements of your application.

The Nickel binder provides longer blade life and lower wear rate and together with the abrasive makes Nickel-bond Blades a perfect choice for soft material applications such as: PCB, Silicon and BGA’s.

Blade thickness varies from 0.8 mil to 20 mil (depending on diamond grit size) and diamond grit size ranges from 2-4 microns to 70 microns (depending on blade thickness).

What are Nickel Dicing Blades

Nickel hub-free dicing blades are precision diamond cutting tools designed for applications requiring extended blade life, high rigidity, and ultra‑thin cutting performance.

Manufactured using a tightly controlled electroforming process, diamond particles are uniformly embedded within a nickel bonding layer, resulting in excellent dimensional accuracy and consistent cutting behaviour.

Key characteristics of nickel dicing blades include:

  • The hard nickel bonding matrix provides excellent wear resistance, resulting in significantly longer blade life and reduced blade consumption.
  • The electroforming process enables the manufacture of extremely thin hub free blades. This allows for fine kerf widths, higher blade exposure, and precise control in demanding dicing applications.
  • As annular blades supplied without a hub, hub free nickel dicing blades are mounted using external flanges. This provides greater flexibility in blade diameter, thickness, and exposure selection, allowing optimisation of the blade setup to suit specific materials and process requirements.
