1. Definition of diamond tools
Diamond tools refer to tool products that use binding agents to consolidate diamonds (generally artificial diamonds) into a certain shape, structure, and size and are used for processing.
Broadly speaking, diamond abrasive paste, rolling saw blades, cold-set diamond wire drawing dies, cold-set diamond tools, brazed diamond composite cutters, etc., are also diamond tools.
2. Classification of diamond tools
1. According to the bond, there are three categories: resin, metal and ceramic bond diamond tools. Metal bond processes are divided into sintering, electroplating and brazing.
2. According to the purpose structure, there are: grinding tools - grinding wheels, rollers, drums, edging wheels, grinding discs, bowl grinding, soft grinding discs, etc.;
Sawing tools - circular saw blades, gang saws, wire saws, cylinder saws, band saws, chain saws, wire saws;
Drilling tools - geometallurgical drill bits, oil (gas) well drill bits, engineering thin-walled drill bits, stone drill bits, glass drill bits, etc.;
Other tools - dressing tools, cutters, drawing dies, etc.
Compared with metal bond carcass, resin and ceramic bond carcasses have lower strength and are not suitable for sawing, drilling, and dressing tools. Generally, they are only abrasive products.
3. Application of diamond tools
Diamond is hard, so the tools made of it are particularly suitable for processing hard and brittle materials, especially non-metallic materials, such as stone, wall and floor tiles, glass, ceramics, concrete, refractory materials, magnetic materials, semiconductors, gems, etc.; they can also be used to process non-ferrous materials. Metals, alloys, wood, such as copper, aluminum, carbide, quenched steel, cast iron, composite wear-resistant wood boards, etc. At present, diamond tools have been widely used in construction, building materials, petroleum, geology, metallurgy, machinery, electronics, ceramics, wood, automobile and other industries.
