用于切割陶瓷的环形金刚石线锯
现在, 硬脆材料的锯切过程受到加工效率低等问题的困扰, 材料产量低, 表面质量和完整性差, 工具成本高, 和环境污染. When using circular saws to cut materials like stone and 陶瓷, 锯片需要具有一定的厚度以确保刚性. 这会导致宽裂缝, 材料产量低, 和严重的污染. 此外, 圆锯无法进行异形表面加工, leading to inferior surface quality when cutting ceramic materials. In the semiconductor industry, the use of free abrasive wire cutting methods to process silicon crystals results in significant surface and environmental contamination by diamond abrasive slurry, thereby increasing the costs associated with subsequent processing and waste treatment.
金刚石绳锯 is a hard and brittle material cutting method that has experienced rapid development in the past decade, primarily involving the use of free abrasive and bonded abrasive types. Based on the wire saw’s motion and machine structure, it can also be classified as reciprocating and unidirectional wire saws. 现在, reciprocating multi-wire saws using free abrasives dominate in the semiconductor and optoelectronic industries. To address issues such as low cutting speeds and abrasive slurry contamination, the diamond unidirectional wire saw utilizing bonded abrasives has been proposed. This type of wire saw features a simple structure, enables high-speed wire movement, and allows for shaping operations, thus holding significant practical importance in advancing equipment for processing hard and brittle materials. The bonded abrasive diamond annular wire saw offers the following advantages:
(1) Narrow kerf, high material yield. By using high-strength steel wire as the base material, various wire saws with diameters below 1mm can be produced. Companies like Sumitomo Electric Industries and Lid in Japan have manufactured wire saws with average diameters ranging from 0.175 to 0.180mm using steel wires with diameters of 0.130 and 0.155mm as the base material, achieving an actual kerf loss of 0.19mm in sodium glass cutting experiments.
(2) Fast cutting speed, 高效率. The bonded abrasive annular diamond wire saw features unidirectional movement of the wire saw during the cutting process, with the abrasive grains fixed on the wire saw, eliminating the difficulty of abrasive entry into long and deep kerfs. Compared to reciprocating structures and wire saws using free abrasives, it is easier to achieve higher cutting speeds, resulting in high processing efficiency.
(3) Smooth cutting process, good slice surface quality. During the cutting process with a diamond wire saw, the cutting force is small and gentle, without the unique grooves generated on the workpiece surface due to reciprocating wire saw movement.
(4) Minimal environmental pollution. Bonded abrasive diamond wire saws typically use water as the standard coolant, and dry cutting methods can even be employed at lower wire speeds. This results in low or no need for wastewater treatment due to the use of bonded abrasives.
综上所述, in today’s increasingly widespread applications in non-conductive materials, semiconductor materials, 和复合材料, the bonded abrasive diamond wire saw demonstrates unique advantages in cutting hard and brittle materials. 然而, current research and applications are insufficient, particularly in areas such as wire saw manufacturing technology, cutting processes and mechanisms, diamond wire saw failure modes and mechanisms, and wire saw posture and motion control technologies in precision shaping cutting. There are many significant gaps that warrant further exploration. This study aims to explore electroplated diamond wire saw cutting technology, deeply understand its cutting mechanisms, and promote the precise and efficient processing of hard and brittle materials, which holds important significance.
