What are the specific differences between diamond wire and diamond saw wire?

The main differences between diamond wire and diamond saw wire are as follows:

1. Material and Structure: Diamond wire is primarily composed of steel wire and a coating, where the steel wire serves as the base material with a surface coating of metal nickel or other alloys to act as a carrier for diamond micro-powder. Diamond saw wire, on the other hand, consists mainly of diamond particles, usually bonded with metal or resin to form cutting tools.
2. Purpose and Applications: Diamond wire is mainly used for cutting hard and brittle materials such as silicon wafers, solar panels in the photovoltaic industry, sapphires, magnetic materials, etc. Diamond saw wire is widely used for cutting and processing construction materials such as stone, concrete, ceramics, and others.
3. Cutting Efficiency and Quality: Due to its high speed and efficiency, diamond wire can achieve higher precision and smoother cutting surfaces during the cutting process. While diamond saw wire can also provide good cutting results, it may not be as efficient as diamond wire when cutting certain hard materials.

     4.Cost and Price: Generally, diamond wire has a higher cost because of its complex manufacturing process involving precision coating techniques and high-quality steel wire materials.                    Diamond  saw wire, on the other hand, is relatively lower in price and is more suitable for large-scale construction and stone processing industries.
