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

It is understood that the main factors affecting the tool wear, the energy, and the efficiency during the machining process are related to the tribological interactions that occur at the interface between the diamond tool surface and the workpiece. Based on this consideration, we propose a new machining method to machine granite materia ls to achieve improved cost effectiveness. In the proposed method, the tribologi cal interactions are maintained to a minimum. Based on the analyses of the experimental results, the following conclusions can be drawn: The wear performance is greatly dependent on the machining parameters and their combination. Therefore, optimum machining parameters must be set up at first in order to optimize the tribological characteristics of segments and thereby sawbl ade performance. These may be realized by balancing the energy expended by frict ion and the mechanical load on diamond crystal. The geometry and structure of diamond segments are another important criterion f or the diamond saw blade. Using a seven-layer structure for multi-blades sawin g and applying segments with side slots for trimming application had greatly red uced the frictions in the sawing processes. The wetting and bonding between diamonds and matrix alloys have been considered as the prerequisite for high wear performance of the segments. Diamonds coated w ith Ti-Cr alloy by a unique technique can effectively improve its wetting c apability and provide more storage space for debris, thereby reducing friction i nteractions.展开更多
