Characterization of Cutting Ability of Electroplated Diamond Wire Used for Multi-Wire Saw

Article Preview

Abstract:

Diamond abrasive coated wires are core tools for precision multi-wire sawing of mono-crystal ingots for substrate manufacturing, especially for hard materials applications such as SiC, GaN, sapphire and silicon. However, repeated contact by reciprocation motion of wire makes it difficult to design optimized utilization of diamond wires since it makes temporal change in cutting performance due to gradual wear of abrasives. In this paper, the cutting performance of wires are examined based on experimental results with wires having different concentration. The results indicated that the concentration of diamond abrasives have strong relationship with cutting performance and wires with low concentration showed higher material removal characteristics.
