Wire Saw Cutting Processing Technology for Hard and Brittle Materials
What are some examples of hard and brittle materials? Hard and brittle materials include monocrystalline, hard alloys, ceramics, rare-earth magnetic materials, etc. These materials are mostly non-conductive or semiconductive, typically characterized by high hardness, brittleness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, high electrical resistance, high temperature resistance, non-magnetic properties, among others. Due to their excellent properties that are often unmatched by metallic materials, the applications of hard and brittle materials have expanded from industries like construction and handicraft manufacturing to aerospace, machinery, automotive, light industry, chemical industry, etc. (such as using agate, gemstones to make bearings; using engineering ceramics to manufacture cutting tools). The widespread application of hard and brittle materials poses higher demands on their processing technology. Cutting processing is a key operation in the processing of hard and brittle materials. Its main process requirements include: high efficiency, low cost, narrow kerf (high material utilization), no damage, and no environmental pollution. Due to the characteristics of hard and brittle materials, the available cutting methods are fewer compared to metal cutting. Commonly used cutting methods include diamond saw blade cutting (including diamond frame saws, diamond wire saws, etc.), laser beam cutting, and high-pressure water jet cutting. The advantages...
