The standard requirement for the diamond wire.
Cutting Speed/Sharpness: Firstly need to make sure the wire saw can cut the stone easily and fast. Cutting speed will affect work efficiency. Some high labor cost markets specially request the cutting speed.
Lifetime: Customer can save cost if the products with good wear resistance
How to choose the right type of diamond wire?
According to the actual needs and uses, the wire saws on the market can be divided into 7 categories, namely: concrete cutting wire saws, granite mining wire saws, granite block shaping wire saws, granite shaped wire saws, marble mining wire ropes saws, marble block shaping wire saws, marble shaped wire saws.
According to the production material, it can be divided into rubber wire saw, plastic wire saw, spring wire saw, and spring plus rubber wire saw.
The specifications of the wire saw are mainly controlled by beading, and its specifications can be from Φ7.2 to Φ11.5, but the formula of different...
Raw materials of the diamond wire saw.
Diamond single crystal: It the basic material for the diamond beads. Qualified manufacturers only use the top-level one.
Steel Wire: Normally from German, but it also has different suppliers and different types.
Cobalt Powder: It the most important material to hold the diamond onto the beads. It will affect the lifetime of the wire saw a lot.
Rubber: Good raw rubber material is basic for production.
Production Processing Technic
Different manufacturers have different private raw material formulas and processing flow of diamond beads.
The interface treatment for steel wire and spring also very important.
Scientific rubber injection control.

The main process of the diamond wire production
Produce the diamond beads: Using the cobalt power and other chemical materials mix with the diamond powder. Make a stable shape through cold pressing, hot pressing, drilling, tapping, degreasing, and sandblasting.
Threading: After special surface treatment of steel wire rope and spring, thread beads, spring, and other accessories on the wire rope (no dust must be ensured)
Vulcanization: Use an injection molding machine to press rubber or plastic onto the steel wire and fix the beads.
Opening: Mainly to remove the impurities on the bead surface, expose the diamond to the outside, and remove the redundant burr on the rubber/plastic.

Diamond wire saw was invented by the British in the 1970s and began to be used in mining and cutting by the Italians in the 1980s. In the early stage of mining, the blasting mode was adopted, which was inefficient and not environmentally friendly. After the rope saw was invented, the mining efficiency was greatly improved.
