Analyzing the Effect of Diamond Particle Size on Sawing Tools

The exposure or protrusion height on the cutting surface of the diamond sawing tool will affect the cutting depth of each particle, which also affects the material removal rate of the cutting tool. The use of diamonds with larger particle size will lead to faster material cutting rate. Generally, coarse particles are used for cutting soft materials, while smaller particles are used for cutting hard materials.

Diamond particle size determines the number of particles per carat. As the particle size number increases, the number of particles per carat increases. Because the number of diamonds on the cutting area of ​​the tool has an impact on the tool life and power consumption, choosing the appropriate mesh number is critical to ensure tool performance. Generally speaking, the use of fine-grained diamond in low-concentration diamond tools can increase the number of diamond particles on the surface of the cutting tool, which is beneficial to extending the service life and also increasing power consumption.

In addition to diamond particle size, diamond concentration also determines the number of grains on the surface of the cutting tool. The higher the diamond concentration, the greater the number of grains on the surface of the cutting tool, which is beneficial to increasing the service life.
