Failure Mechanism of Diamond Saw Blade Sawing Concrete

Abstract:

Sawing concrete with diamond saw blade is a complex process with alternating loading. However, due to the poor working conditions of the thin circular blade made of high manganese steel core, and the lack of research on its failure mechanism, a large number of used blade are abandoned every year in China and all over the world without steel core reused. Therefore, exploring the failure mechanism of diamond saw blade can improve the cutting quality and efficiency, and extend the service life of the saw blade. In this paper, the failure mechanism of diamond saw blade sawing concrete was analyzed through segment wear experiment and microstructure observation of segments and steel core of failed sawblade. The results showed that the stress concentration exited at the bottom of slot, where it became the most dangerous section. The crack at the bottom of the cooling hole caused the saw blade to deviate violently and bear unevenly. The microstructure is great different along the outer to the center of the steel core. The closer to the teeth of the saw blade, the more obvious the microstructure change, while the central core still retains the original structure. Under the same sawing area of 0.01m², the stable dust adhesion of plain concrete is less than that of the steel fiber concrete. However, when the dust adhesion increases to more than the stable adhesion, the phenomenon of blockage will occur. Therefore, deflection, crack, wear and burn were the main failure reasons of diamond saw blade when sawing concrete.
