Although several serving performances of brazed diamond wire have been reported, seldom do these studies refer to its process characteristics. Sawing performances of a brazed diamond wire are investigated and compared with those of a sintered diamond wire on a wire saw machine. The surface topographies of beads selected from the two wires are micro observed before sawing. The sawing tests are carried out in constant feed rate feeding（CFF） and constant normal force feeding（CNFF）. In CFF test, sawing force, power, and the cut depths of positions on contact curve are measured. Then, coupled with the observations of beads topographies, sawing force and its ratio, relations of power against material removal rate, and contact curve linearity are compared and discussed. In CNFF test, the sawing rates of the two wires are investigated. The results indicate that the brazed wire performs with lower sawing force（less 16% of tangential force and 28% of normal force）, more energy efficiency（nearly one-fifth of sawing power is saved）, at a higher sawing rate （the rate is doubled） and with better contact curve linearity as compared with the sintered wire. This proposed research experimentally evaluates the sawing performances of brazed diamond wire from the aspect of process parameters, which can provide a basis for popularizing the brazed diamond wire.展开更多

Measurements were mad e of the horizontal and vertical force components and the consumed power in order to obtain the tangential and the normal force components. The temperatures at the diamond-granite contact zone were measured using a foil thermocouple. T he measurement, together with the net sawing power, was subsequently used to est imate the energy partition to the granite by a temperature matching technique. B ased on the energy partition values, the temperatures at individual cutting poin ts were estimated using an analytical model. SEM was used to follow the topograp hies of worn diamond segments. The average force acting on each diamond grit was found to be only 4% of the diamond compressive strength measured by a static me thod. The strength disparity of diamond grits and the random protrusion of grits beyond bond matrix should be significant factors in accounting for the wear of diamond grits. The wear of diamond grits was also found to be closely related to the high temperatures generated at individual cutting points and the pop-outs of diamonds from the bond matrix might be mainly attributed to the heat conducte d to the segments.展开更多

CBN-550 of Diamond Innovations) can cut faster and they last longer than mono grits(e.g.Borazon(?) CBN-500). Polygrits of alumina(e.g.Cubitron(?) of 3M) also out perform by far glassy grits(e.g.white alumina).For diamond superabrasives,micron polygrits formed by shock waves may polish as fast as mono grits of the same size,but without causing as much scratches due to the presence of smaller sintered grains.The improved performance of poly grits is attributed to their ability to micro chipping that renews the sharp cutting corners from time to time.By contrast,mono grits tend to round off at low cutting force or macro fracture at high cutting force,so they may lose the cutting ability rapidly. For sawing granite with mesh sizes 40/50 or coarser,poly grits of diamond have not been available until recently.In this research,we have made polygrits in mini cube with sizes of 18/20,20/25,and 30/40.Turbo grinders and wire saws were made by brazing both mono grits and polygrits on steel substrates.Cutting performance on granite demonstrated that grinding speed was faster with turbo grinder,and the surface finish was smoother with wire saw for poly grits than mono ones. Polygrits and mono grits of diamond were mixed for comparison(upper left).Polygrits of mini cubes were brazed on the pearl of a wire saw(upper right).Mono diamond grits were brazed on a turbo grinder(bottom diagrams ).展开更多

The simulation is carried out for the moment from the beginning of deformation to the local yield in work piece. In order to treat the work hardening on deformation resistance, a correction of stress based on deformation rate is taken into consideration. The calculation results shows, there are two stress peaks both on the lower and upper sides ahead of the tooth tip during the elastic press stage, in which the displacement of tooth is below 0.735*10-6 cm. Following the push of saw tooth and rise of saw load, metal at the corner of filing reaches the yield point and a local plastic area appears,where metal shapes new filing part towards the free surface under the extrusion forces. Meanwhile the stress peaks ahead of tooth tip initial also yield regions. The displacement of saw tooth is between 0.735*10-6cm and 1.274*10-6cm in this stage. With the further push of the saw tooth, metal bounded to tooth tip is torn under the combination of tensile and sheer stress. The slide of metal and its local plastic flow form the extension of filing. Then the saw load rises no longer and static sawing procedure continues.展开更多

The four wear mechanisms are impactshearing, fatiguing, pullingout and thermal effects. Surface erosion is the result of thermal effects, while impactshearing and fatiguing lead to macro and microfracture, and pullingout results in wholesale dislodgement of diamonds provided the inequality Fn>M/(μλδ) is satisfied.展开更多

Because its own of multi- strands characteristics, we use it to replace the steel wire to do slicing experiment. In this paper, multi-strands wire is made by seven metal wires and has many grooves on its surface. Compared with steel wire, it can carry more grains into cutting zone which is conducive to improving the slicing efficiency. We do some comparative slic- ing experimcnts by applying multi-strands wire （~b0.25 mm） and steel wire （~b0.25 mm） to cut optical glass （K9）. The results show that slicing efficiency and the surface roughness of the workpiece sliced by using multi-strands wire are better than that by using steel wire. but the kerf width of the former is wider than that of the latter in the same experimental conditions.展开更多
