TOOLS Tools -> Diamond wire - records: 24 The diamond wire is a wire 5 or 8 millimeters in diameter that presents of small steel cylinders which have been applied to the beads of synthetic diamond on the surface. He was born to cut the stone, invented by Louis Madrigals (1932-2006), inventor of the first machine diamond wire and then the water cushions, but later spread the use for other materials such as concrete. Its development was promoted by the problems presented by the use of abrasives classic and the search for improvement of these substances, released on the wire during the cutting process. It was thought then to a solution that would bring the union between the wire and the abrasive and he was able to use the hardest material known, diamond. The cutting machines are constructed with a command section distant from the point of wall in which you want to proceed with the cutting so as to keep repaired operators from the dust generated by the rubbing of the wire and the possible detachment of diamond beads. These machines have greatly improved their performance in recent years and have passed the initial shear rate of 3.4 cubic meters per hour to about 15 cubic meters. |
