Why Tungsten Carbide is a Challenge to Cut

Tungsten carbide is widely used in industrial applications due to its exceptional properties:

Extreme hardness (9-9.5 Mohs scale) – Only diamonds are harder

High wear resistance – Causes rapid tool degradation

Brittleness – Prone to cracking under improper cutting forces

 

Traditional cutting methods like EDM (방전 가공), 레이저 절단, and abrasive saws face limitations:

  • Slow processing speeds
  • High tool wear & replacement costs
  • Thermal damage risks
  • Limited precision in thin cuts

 

This is where diamond wire saw cutting machines step in as the superior alternative.

How Diamond Wire Saw Cutting Machines Work

A diamond wire saw cutting machine uses a high-tensile wire embedded with diamond abrasive particles to slice through hard materials with minimal kerf loss and maximum efficiency.

 

Key Components:

  1. Diamond-Coated Wire – The cutting medium with synthetic diamond grit
  2. Wire Guidance System – Ensures precise tension and alignment
  3. Coolant System – Prevents overheating and extends wire life
  4. CNC Control – Enables automated, high-precision cuts

 

절단 공정:

The wire moves in a continuous loop at controlled speeds

Diamond particles grind through the tungsten carbide

Coolant flushes away debris and reduces friction

Minimal material waste due to ultra-thin kerf (as low as 0.2mm)
