A General Overview of Diamond Wire Types and Applications; Choosing The Right Diamond Wire
Mesa Diamond offers a large selection of diamond wires developed for cutting a wide range of materials such as concrete, stone, reinforced concrete, underwater steel/pipe cutting in a variety of industries. There is basically no limit towards the depth or shape of a wire saw application. Our diamond wires function well with all wire saw types on the market. We offer various types of diamond wires that has different diamond densities and diamond bead diameters including vacuum brazed, double bead vacuum brazed and sintered options.
Ideal to use vacuum brazed diamond wires;
Mesa Diamond professional-grade diamond wires with vacuum-brazed beads are engineered to cut through steel, alloy and heavily reinforced concrete.
Vacuum-brazed wires have been developed for intense professional use in specialist applications such as heavy reinforced concrete cutting, underwater steel and pipe cutting, offshore/nuclear cuttings etc. It can be very aggressive cutting with high wire tension and it provides maximum cutting speed and improved wear resistance in heavy cutting.
Ideal to use sintered diamond wires;
Mesa Diamond premium sintered diamond wire is designed to provide a good balance of lifetime and cutting speed. General purpose sintered diamond wire is made for handling all types of concrete/reinforced concrete cutting applications such as demanding demolition, building, and renovation work, among others. It performs best with medium- to high-powered wire saws.
Mesa Diamond sintered wires feature at least 40 beads per meter for the longest wire lifespan possible. It is ideal diamond wire for cutting concrete and stone.
Diamond wire is available in a variety of types, each with specific advantages and ideal usage scenarios depending on the nature of the project, the variables affecting the formation of diamond wire segment, and its individual features. Diamond wire saw cutters differ from others, such as the bandsaw, by using abrasion instead of saw diamond teeth. Thanks to the hardness of diamonds, the abrasion technique can be used to cut through almost any material that is softer than the diamond abrasive. The process also produces less kerf and wasted materials when compared with conventional solid blades. The wire cutter also allows circular cutting on all sides, preventing the wire from getting pinched and is therefore an effective method of resisting compressive forces while cutting a wide range of materials.
To improve the quality of the braze bond, vacuum brazed beads are produced in a brazing oven. The braze, often known as "paste" is a combination of various metal alloys. Some titanium alloys are used in active brazing, that when cured produces carbides.
Vacuum brazed diamond beads is a brazing method that fixes the diamond powder on the bead matrix. This method is more environment friendly compared to electroplated wires which causes pollution.
Vacuum brazed wires are specially designed to provide faster cutting of concrete, reinforced concrete due to its extra sharpness of beads. In order to improve the lifespan of the wire, vacuum brazed beads are of double layer structure which greatly improve its sharpness. It requires the operators to cut only in one direction. If your project needs faster cutting much more than longer cutting life, vacuum brazed wires are the ideal option. In the right conditions, it is the best combination of speed and life.
Sintered beads are made by mixing diamond powder and metal powder and sintering them on a bead base. Beads are put in special tunnel ovens at around 1922 °F during the sintering process. The sintered bead structure provides a somewhat consistent diamond dispersion in order to cut both upper and bottom layers uniformly. As a result, sintered beads have a longer life and a greater cutting volume than vacuum brazed beads.
Sintered diamond wires are widely utilized in the cutting of various stones such as marble, granite, concrete, reinforced concrete, and others. Sintered wires are the best choice if your project requires more cutting volume than faster speed. Sintered diamond wires typically provides slower cutting speed than electroplated or vacuum brazed beads.
Vacuum Brazed Double Conical Diamond Bead
Vacuum brazed conical beads are manufactured using a tapered steel carrier. Mesa Diamond offers improved efficiency with double conical diamond wire. They are generally 10.2mm to 11mm in diameter for underwater/offshore steel cutting applications.
Vacuum brazed diamond beads are a brazing technique that attaches diamond powder to the bead matrix. Because of the increased sharpness of the beads, vacuum brazed wires are particularly developed to offer faster cutting of reinforced concrete. It requires the operators to cut only in one direction.
Mesa Diamond vacuum brazed double beads have improved structure to extend the life of the wire and increase its sharpness. If your project requires faster cutting rather than extended cutting life, vacuum brazed wires are an excellent choice.
