Summary

What is the best metal cutting tools ?

Diamond wire loop could be used for cutting hybrid iron materials ,such as ceramic mixed with iron. When cutting pure iron, the iron chips will adhere onto diamond surface.

But if there are ceramic mixed, the ceramic materials will carry off iron chips. Diamond will react with Fe, Co,Ni (Iron, cobalt, nickel) under high temperature.

If you need to cut these metal materials, our CBN wire loops could be your alternative choice!

What We Cut:

Not only Metal but also Stone,Metal,Glass,Silicon and other hard brittle materials can be cut by diamond wire loop saw.

 

Special diameter and length on request!

 

How effective is it?

It uses abrasion instead of saw teeth for cutting which is why a wire sawing steel is an effective tool when it comes to cutting. Wire sawing metal offers significant advantages over other cutting methods in various applications compared to other cutting methods.

High precision can reduce damage of wire sawing, and reduced kerf loss are some of the areas in which a wire saw is thought to be an effective tool.

It is for the reason that it can have a preeminent effect not only on the process of cutting but also on downstream operations. There is less damage depth on the surface of the cut because wire sawing steel is a gentle process.

The reduced damage and gentle cutting men the corners also cut cleanly, and quality is improved. It is an excellent solution to many challenges that companies face when that look towards other thin pieces of valuable and delicate materials.

Reminder

Although wire sawing steel is remotely operated it does not mean the chances of injury are 0. Since they are under extreme tension, there is a possibility that they can snap and cause serious injury to anyone nearby. Always take proper safety precautions when using it. And as always, only trained specialists should operate them.

Applications

There is a wide range of applications for wire sawing steel. Mining and quarrying industries are some of the main industries that use them to cut hard stones into large blocks. Some wire saws use diamond-impregnated beads (Diamond wire sawing technology). Some use abrasive wire saws, either automatic or manual, and are commonly used for cutting different shapes and sizes.

Some industry like the furniture industry uses them to cut cushions and couches, etc. In the housing industry, they are also used for insulation and pipe insulation.
