There are two main types of diamond saw blades, the first is circular saw blades, and the second is saw blades and saw bands. This article mainly introduces the development history of diamond circular saw blades.

Diamond circular saw blade, blade for marble

Diamond circular saw blade (hereinafter referred to as diamond saw blade) is a cutting tool for cutting hard materials (mainly stone, reinforced concrete, asphalt, cement, etc.). Grinding of these materials is accomplished by a tool called a diamond segment on top of the steel substrate, and finally the cutting effect is achieved. As early as 1885, Jaeguin, a Frenchman living in Paris, fixed a uniform 0.8-carat diamond on the saw blade base of the dovetail groove by manual inlaying, and then fixed it with rivets. After the diamond tool was made, it was astonishing, Since then, the product of diamond saw blades has been known. However, because natural diamonds are too expensive, such diamond saw blades are destined to only be used for display, appearing as a concept product, and the way of fixing diamonds is too complicated to bring about a strong cutting effect during the cutting process.


Time developed to the 1930s, due to the development of electrical technology, aviation, cutting tools, friction materials, structural materials, aviation and other industries, the powder metallurgy industry has been greatly developed during this period. The diamond segment is used for mixed metallurgy, and the material of the diamond segment can be obtained. The segment is welded to the saw blade, and it can be used to cut hard materials such as stone. However, in this period, since artificial diamond has not yet come out, most of the segment materials are made of natural diamond, and the price of saw blades is still extremely expensive.

In 1955, the United States produced the first synthetic diamond in human history, and the diamond tool industry benefited from this discovery, Since then, diamond saw blades have been mass-produced. Most of the earliest saw blade products came from countries and regions with advanced metallurgical industry and technology, such as the United States, Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries. Relying on the leading technology of these countries, in the 1950s and 1970s, they provided a variety of artificial diamond tools for people in various regions of the world. However, because the stone industry did not conduct large-scale mining at that time, the use was limited and there was no large-scale mining. Mass production and distribution.

The 1970s was the golden age of diamond development in Japan. At that time, with the help of Japan's economic boom, diamond tools quickly occupied the market position. However, after the 1980s, South Korea's diamond tools rose rapidly, and with the vigorous development of the stone industry during this period, the diamond tool industry was in a period of rapid development, The most obvious change is that diamond saw blades have gradually transitioned from saw blades for cutting marble to hard granite, and the huge granite market development has greatly increased the sales of diamond saw blades, and with the continuous innovation of powder metallurgy technology , so as to promote the continuous improvement of the technology of diamond saw blades.

After the 1990s, China's diamond saw blade industry has been greatly developed. During this period of rapid development, China's diamond industry has grown from nothing, from weak to strong. After more than 20 years of development, by 2015 , China's diamond saw blade production capacity has been widely distributed, and the product quality ranges from high-end to low-end products.

Today, China has become the largest exporter of diamond saw blades, and has made great progress in the production process of cutting heads, matrix manufacturing, and synthetic diamond synthesis technology. In addition, China has a strong basic system for product production. Due to the manufacturing strength of the industrial chain, diamond saw blades face greater development and potential in the future.
