2. Sélection de l'équipement et du fil

Équipement: ESO-GM. In view of the hard-brittle characteristics of magnetic material and the requirement to slice at a 2 mm d'épaisseur, Ensoll selected the ESO-GM gantry-type ring diamond wire cutting system with a top-down vertical feed. The gantry configuration maintains a stable wire trajectory and slice dimensional accuracy.

Liquide de refroidissement: coupe à l'huile. L'huile de coupe est utilisée comme milieu de refroidissement et de lubrification. It improves lubrication and heat dissipation in the contact zone between the diamond wire and the magnetic material, reduces friction resistance and localised heat accumulation during cutting, and limits fluctuation in cutting load and its effect on the material. Cela aide à supprimer l'écaillage, micro-cracking and surface damage.

Fil: totalement plaqué. un fil diamant totalement plaqué a été choisi. La construction plaquée améliore la force de liaison entre les grains abrasifs de diamant et le noyau du fil et fournit une répartition plus uniforme des grains. Cela permet de maintenir un taux d'enlèvement de matière continu et stable, réduit l'arrachage des grains et l'usure du fil, et contribue à réduire l'écaillage, micro-cracking and surface damage when slicing magnetic material.

3. Méthode de découpe et avantages de l'équipement

Gantry cutting configuration. The gantry structure provides high overall rigidity and running stability. The top-down vertical feed helps keep the diamond wire trajectory stable and reduces the influence of changes in cutting force on kerf position and dimensional accuracy in the magnetic material. The machine is equipped with a mist-extraction system that promptly removes mist generated during cutting.

Contrôle intelligent de la tension. The system adjusts diamond wire tension in real time according to cutting conditions and supports both constant-tension and variable-tension modes, maintenir le fonctionnement stable du fil. Stable wire tension reduces fluctuation in the cutting trajectory and limits localised uneven loading and the risk of wire breakage caused by tension variation, which in turn reduces defects in the magnetic material.

Mémoire de rupture de fil. Si le fil diamanté se casse ou si la machine s'arrête de manière anormale, the system automatically records the current machining position and associated operating state. Après le remplacement du fil, cutting resumes from the recorded position, reducing dimensional deviation and material loss caused by re-positioning and repeat machining. This improves the continuity of magnetic material slicing and lowers the risk of repeated cutting.

Châssis en fonte monobloc à haute rigidité. The one-piece cast iron frame provides high structural stiffness and vibration resistance, reducing the effect of machine vibration and structural deformation on the wire trajectory during machining. For a hard-brittle material such as magnetic material, the high-rigidity frame helps damp vibration and fluctuation in cutting force during the cut and keeps the diamond wire running stably.

The measurement was applied to magnetic material slices produced by ring diamond wire cutting. Before measurement the instrument was thermally stabilised and calibrated against a standard thickness block. L'épaisseur nominale de la coupe était 2.000 mm.

TTV values were 0.014, 0.020, 0.024, 0.013 et 0.021 mm, spanning 0.013–0.024 mm across the batch, with a mean TTV of approximately 0.018 mm on a 2.000 épaisseur nominale en mm. The results confirm good thickness uniformity in magnetic material slicing.

5.2 Données de tolérance d'épaisseur (Unité: mm)

Thickness tolerance was derived from the nine-point thickness data, using 2.000 mm as the nominal thickness. The positive and negative thickness deviation were calculated at each measurement position and the results from all five samples were aggregated. The maximum positive deviation, maximum negative deviation and overall deviation range were then determined to evaluate thickness consistency.

S05 1.998 −0.002
Écart positif maximal — +0.010 mm
Écart négatif maximal — −0.015 mm
Thickness tolerance band — ±0.0125 mm

Évaluation. Against a nominal thickness of 2.000 mm, the five slices showed mean thicknesses of 1.997–2.000 mm, with small average deviations across the batch. Over all measurement points the thickness deviation ranged from −0.015 mm to +0.010 mm, with a maximum absolute deviation of 0.015 mm.

Rugosité de surface (Ra) was measured by stylus profilometry on the magnetic material slices after ring diamond wire cutting. Representative measurement positions were taken at the centre and on both sides along the cut end face, surface profile data was acquired with a stylus profilometer, and the roughness parameter Ra was recorded at each position.

Évaluation. Mean Ra across the five samples ranged from 0.48 À 0.62 μm, avec toutes les lectures individuelles comprises entre 0.46 et 0.66 μm. The narrow spread across the three measurement positions on each slice indicates a uniform surface finish along the cut face.

5.4 Données sur l’ébréchure des bords (Unité: μm)

L'éclatement des bords a été quantifié par imagerie optique sur un microscope d'outilleur. Specimen edges were cleaned before measurement and the magnification and measurement scale of the instrument were calibrated. The slice edge was then inspected under the microscope, identifiable chipping defects were located and measured at four points per sample, and the maximum value was retained.

Évaluation. Toolmaker’s microscope inspection of the five magnetic material slices gave maximum chipping values of 5.6, 5.2, 7.5, 4.6 et 6.3 μm, with an overall maximum of 7.5 μm. S04 showed the best edge integrity and S03 the largest chipping at 7.5 μm.

6. Conclusion

The good results obtained in this high-precision slicing trial of magnetic material stemmed mainly from the combined effect of a purpose-built cutting machine, la méthode de refroidissement et de lubrification, et des paramètres de processus correctement adaptés. Magnetic material is relatively hard with a degree of brittleness. During ring diamond wire cutting the abrasive grains act continuously on the material surface, and material removal is affected by cutting load, wire running condition and the machining parameters.

Équipement. An ESO-GM gantry-type ring diamond wire cutting system was used. The gantry structure provides high overall rigidity and running stability and gives reliable mechanical support for workpiece clamping and continuous wire travel. Stable motion and feed control keep the diamond wire on the programmed path throughout the cut.

Refroidissement et lubrification. Cutting oil was used as the cooling and lubricating medium. During cutting the diamond wire remains in continuous contact with the workpiece and the abrasive grains grind the material continuously, generating friction heat in the contact zone. Cutting oil improves lubrication at the cutting interface, carries away part of the cutting heat, and reduces friction between the wire and the workpiece, which helps limit thermal effects and edge damage.

Les paramètres du processus. Vitesse du fil, feed rate and other key parameters were matched to the hardness, brittleness and target slice thickness of the magnetic material. Parameters were set to maintain stable wire travel and continuous material removal, avoiding feed rates high enough to raise cutting load, or a mismatch between wire speed and feed rate that would degrade slice quality.

Dans l'ensemble. Taken together with slice dimensional accuracy, tolérance d'épaisseur, Rugosité (Ra) and cut-edge quality, the combination of the ESO-GM gantry cutting machine, oil-based cooling and lubrication, and appropriately matched process parameters allows ring diamond wire cutting to meet the precision slicing requirements for this magnetic material.
