Abstract: The slicing technology of hard-brittle materials by endless diamond wire saw has the advantages of higher moving speed of wire saw, better slicing quality, and thin kerf. According to the strength of wire saw, the cutting force and the random vibration of wire saw, the slicing parameters are optimized. As single crystal silicon is sliced, the constant feed force is less than 10N, the maximum pretension is 30N, and the highest moving speed of wire saw is 24m/s. But because the restrict of machine precision, the highest slicing speed is 16m/s.

Abstract: This article investigates the cutting of Al2O3/TiC ceramics using a fixed abrasive diamond endless wire. The effect of wire speed and feed rate on material removal rate, cutting force, surface roughness and wire wear is investigated. The cut surface of Al2O3 /TiC ceramics is studied. This study demonstrates the advantage of fixed abrasive diamond endless wire cutting of Al2O3/TiC ceramics.

Abstract: A new type of non-chisel-edge shallow-drill is developed for machining high manganese steel, which is a typical hard-to-machine material. The marked characteristic of the drill is that the cutting edge is non-chisel-edge, consisting of a section of straight line and a part of curve nearby the center. The characteristics of machining performance of this drill are analyzed. Measures adopted in design for improving cutting performance and prolonging tool life are also presented. Applied example indicates that this new drill has good cutting performances and long life. Compared with common twist drill, the axial thrust cutting force of this tool is reduced 30~50 percent.

Abstract: A better understanding of the hard-brittle material removal mechanism in wire-sawing provides a basis for optimizing the wire-saw and processing parameters. The maximum cutting depth of each diamond grain in wire-sawing is given. It is proved theoretically that the deformation mode on the machined hard-brittle material surface gradually shifts from brittle fracture to ductile deformation with the increasing of wire-saw velocity, the decreasing of infeed velocity and the decreasing of average grain size. The experimental investigation on the wire-sawing of granite is carried out. It is shown that in the case of wire-saw velocity of 20m/s, infeed velocity of 0.15mm/s and diamond grain size of 200~230#, the removal mechanism in wire-sawing is ductile mode.
