Application and popularization of the diamond segments

Diamond was first developed by the French. At that time, people fixed the hardest substance discovered by human beings, diamond, on the circular saw blade by welding. At that time, pure natural diamond was used, and the final saw blade was processed not only with unsatisfactory effect, but also with ridiculously high cost. However, through this incident, people know the future development direction of diamond saw blades.

Before long, Europe began to analyze the relationship between carbon and diamond. People began to generate diamonds through carbon in a specific environment, and the emergence of synthetic diamonds greatly promoted the development of diamond saw blades and segments. So it wasn't long before people started making segments. The earliest way is to sinter cobalt powder with some metal and diamond, and finally form the earliest shape of the segment. After the segment entered China in the 1980s, due to the rapid development of the world economy and the development of the stone industry, the diamond segment has been continuously improved with the development of science and technology, and there have been sand saws machine and Gangsaw machine, multi blade cutting machinery, gantry cutting machine, trimming machine, etc. There has been a great change in the application of the segments, from the medium diameter saw blade to the large saw blade mode. At the end of the 20th century, the supply of large saw blade segments was in short supply, and the cutting technology and cutting ability of diamond segments were greatly improved during this period.



In the first two decades of the 21st century, the emergence of mining saw machines will bring a new stage in the development of diamond segments that have just begun to be established. Faster mining methods and more rational use of resources have enabled mining segments to be vigorously promoted. As a new concept, the mining segment is slowly becoming known.

Subdivided products are another direction for the development of diamond segments. From saw blades for cutting products, gang saws, to metal grinding discs for grinding, soft polishing pads, and profiling stone grinding tools. Then to core drill bits, hollow drill bits, engineering drill bits, etc. used for drilling, and finally to other industries. For example, concrete, such as the ceramic tile industry, such as new building materials, have begun to have diamond segments. Cutting, grinding, drilling, polishing, grinding, as long as the processing of hard materials, the segment seems to have a place to express its ability.

Subdivision products can be subdivided into smaller aspects in addition to large directional subdivisions. Such as the subdivision of stone types: marble, granite, limestone, travertine, slate, microcrystalline stone, and other stones. And marble is divided into soft marble, medium soft marble, medium hard marble, hard marble and so on according to the hardness. Granite can also be divided into medium soft granite, medium hard granite, hard granite, super hard granite and so on. The processed segments corresponding to different stones are not the same, so there are more possibilities for the segments.



At present, diamond segments are not very good at both wet and dry use. Mainly because the segment is mostly fixed by high-frequency welding. If the machining leads to overheating of the segment, the segment will collapse directly. However, laser welding can solve this problem, so the current research and development of dry cutting saw blades is a problem worthy of people to overcome.

All in all, the diamond segment industry is still in the early stage of development, and will continue to have better development goals and prospects due to the development of the industry and technological breakthroughs in the future. In the future, diamond segments should be involved in more industries, such as precision cutting, precious metal cutting, jade cutting and so on.
