Comparison of wear characteristics of diamond segments under different sawing modes in sawing hard stone

In this study, the wear characteristics of two kinds of diamond segments with different composition of matrix were compared and investigated under two sawing modes through an experiment. Diamond particles were studied through scanning electron microscopy and three dimensional imaging system. Then, the remaining height of diamond segments was measured by digital vernier caliper. The wear characteristics of diamond segments were analyzed from wear morphology, protrusion height of diamond particles and the remaining height of diamond segments. The motion of two sawing modes and their effects on trajectories were analyzed which presented that the rocking reciprocating sawing mode can reduce sawing length and sawing time compared with horizontal reciprocating sawing mode used daily in industry. The results of experiment demonstrated that the main wear mechanism attributed to diamond segments wear is the fracture and falling of diamond particles caused by heavy loads especially in rocking reciprocating sawing mode. The average protrusion height of diamond particles is related with loads and the bonding strength of matrix. However, diamond segments wear can be effectively reduced in rocking reciprocating sawing mode while cobalt-based segments were adopted because a higher bonding strength to diamond particles can be provided compared with iron-based segments. The matrix of segments can be abrased slower while sawing length and sawing time were reduced.     

Investigation and improvement of wear nonuniformity of diamond tools in sawing granite

Sawing experiments were accomplished to discuss the wear characteristics at different parts of diamond tools in the process of sawing granite in this paper. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and 3D laser microscope were main detection means for the morphology of diamond tools. Synthetic investigation on the abrasion performance of segments was developed from aspects of the wear appearance of diamond particle and metal bond, the particle protrusion height and the residual height of segments. The results indicated that smaller residual height and larger proportion of macro-fractured and pull out crystal were exhibited at the front end of traditional diamond segment compared with the rear end. Morphology characteristics of diamond tools demonstrated different abrasion mechanism, flush erosion and cavitation was the main wear mechanism for the front end, while abrasive wear was the main wear mechanism for the rear end. Maximum undeformed chip thickness per diamond particle for the front end was larger than that of the rear end due to the existence of slot, the same was true for the load of single diamond particle. By reasonably matching of diamond particles and matrix bond, the abnormal failure efficiency of the diamond particles at the front of the segment was effectively reduced and the wear uniformity of the saw tooth surface was greatly improved. Suggestions on the design of diamond tools and test verification were put forward in the end.     

Effects of diamond grain characteristics on sawblade wear

One-segmented diamond sawblades containing diamond with varying degrees of etch pits were manufactured to study the wear behaviour of diamond grains during the sawing of granite. The worn surfaces of the diamond segments were analysed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the forces acting on the tool and the wear performance were measured. The results showed that a sawblade containing diamond with a small number of pits during sawing displays predominantly microfractured worn particles on the working segment surface, a lower sawing force, and a better wear performance. When a tool containing a greater number of extensive pits on the diamond grains is used, a higher proportion of macrofracture occurred and wear flats appeared on the worn diamonds. In addition, the sawing forces are relatively higher and the blade performance is poorer.     

Comparison of wear performance of diamond tools in frame sawing with different trajectories

In this study, experiments were performed to explore the wear performance of diamond tools with different sawing trajectories in stone processing. The wear morphologies of the diamond segments were analyzed by an optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy. The wear behavior of the diamond segment was investigated comprehensively from the aspects of the wear morphology of matrix and diamond, the remaining height of segments and the height of protrusion of diamond particles. The results indicated that matrix tails are developed behind diamond particles in impacted frame saws guided by the specific eccentric hinge mechanisms. The sawblades can be lifted and cut stone at the maximum horizontal velocity, create many new cutting edges, so that the diamond particles with cutting ability in impacted frame saws are higher than that of the horizontal frame saw. In addition, the hinge mechanisms of impacted frame saws placed in the same direction are conducive to the uniformity of segment wear compared with the hinge mechanisms placed symmetrically. Impact wear is the main wear mechanism of the diamond particles in impacted frame saws, while impact load also accelerates the fracture of diamond particles. Accordingly, the difference of protrusion height between three kinds of frame saws is not particularly large.

Characteristics of diamond sawblade wear in sawing

The characteristics of the surfaces of worn diamond segments in circular saws for the sawing of granite have been investigated. A scanning electron microscope and a toolmaker's microscope were used to examine the worn surfaces, and radial sawblade wear and grinding ratio during sawing were measured. Experimental results indicate that the diamonds on the working surface for a heavy trimming operation can be classified as whole (without significant wear), micro-fractured, and macro-fractured crystals; also pull-out craters occur. The transition from a free-cutting action to a less efficient cutting occurs when the proportions of whole crystal, fractured particle, and grit pull-out are about one-third. When the proportion of particle fracture (particularly macro-fractured particles) and/or grit pull-out exceeds one-third, the cutting ability of a sawblade becomes less efficient and, in an extreme case, leads to sawblade failure. Conversely, a sawblade containing a higher proportion of whole crystals and a lower proportion of macro-fractured particles cuts more efficiently.

金刚石压齿锯片在先进陶瓷加工中的应用评价

针对先进陶瓷材料的切割加工中存在着切割效率低、工具磨损快等问题,本文通过用金刚石压齿锯片加工氧化铝陶瓷的实验,研究锯片的磨损失效机制,探讨高效低成本的先进陶瓷切割技术.实验中用金刚石压齿锯片在不同加工条件下对氧化铝陶瓷材料和玉石进行切割加工,测量切割法向力和切向力,并跟踪锯片刃口形貌的变化及其磨损过程.实验结果表明,由于材料性质的差异,氧化铝陶瓷的切割力和力比均要明显大于玉石.锯片的磨损是由于该类型锯片的刃口上金刚石磨料浓度太低,而且结合剂的把持力不足导致金刚石大量脱落而失效的,并造成金属基体与工件间的摩擦加剧,切割比能也相应增加.

Computer simulation of stone frame sawing process using diamond blades

Based on the results of scratching tests with single point tools and single segments in a previous study, the contact area between stone and blade, the number of effective cutting edges and the cutting forces per diamond grit, per segment and blade in the frame sawing process are simulated by computer. The number of diamond grits per unit area, the distribution of diamond grits per segment and the effective depth of cut of diamond grits are calculated by a new method. The Monte Carlo method is applied to generate the position of diamond grits randomly. The results show that in cutting stroke, only half of the diamond grits on the segment surface cut stone with the depth of cut increasing and a limited moving distance. The interactions of the grooves created by different segments remove the stone and generate the saw kerf. The simulation results of cutting forces are consistent in tendency with the data tested in a frame sawing machine. Cutting feed and the cutting performance of the segments are the major factors which determine the cutting forces and segment wear. The optimized constant contact area between blade and stone depends on the segment spaces, the segment number and the segment size, the ratio of the length of block and the effective cutting length of blade etc.

Evaluation and uses of composite Ni-Co matrix coatings with diamonds on steel applied by electrodeposition

Composite coatings can consist of hard particles (e.g. diamond and carbides) dispersed in a soft matrix. They can be produced by electrodeposition or by sintering, and serve for wear-resistant surfaces (e.g. orifices in the textile industry) and high hardness tools (e.g. drills and sawing discs). In the present study, an attempt was made to obtain improved drills based on diamond particles in a Ni-Co matrix. The influence of current density and cobalt content in the bath on the concentration of the latter in the matrix, and on the hardness and quality of the coating, was investigated. Comparison with drills (including commercial ones) with a pure nickel matrix showed that a small admixture of cobalt suffices for significant hardening, strengthening and improvement of wear resistance and particle capture. Thermal treatment resulted in significant reduction of hardness and quality.

Novel approaches on the study of wear performance of electroless Ni–P/diamond composite deposites

The ability to co-deposit particulate matter in a matrix of electroless nickel has led to a new generation of composite coatings. Polycrystalline diamond is one of the many varieties of particulate matter that can be co-deposited. Composite diamond coating is a regenerative layer of diamond particles dispersed in a hard electroless nickel matrix. In this work, experiments have been carried out to study the effect of heat treatment on the wear characteristics of the electroless composite coating containing diamond particles. The results indicate substantial increase in wear resistance after heat treatment. For wear analysis, in order to overcome the difficulties in the most common ‘weight loss’ method, X-ray diffraction method is used. Also the concept of internal standard method of quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis with suitable modifications is employed for the study of removal of diamond particles from the matrix. Superior integrity of the diamond particles with the matrix of the coating is observed for the specimens when heat treated to around 350 °C because of the formation of phosphides. But increasing the heat treatment to about 500 °C affects the wear resistance.
