Analysis of the Structure and Shape of Diamond Sements

The structure of the diamond segment is a crucial factor affecting the performance of diamond saw blades. The shape and internal composition of the diamond segment directly determine its cutting efficiency, service life, and operational stability. Therefore, a reasonable design of the diamond segment structure not only enhances the cutting performance of the saw blade but also reduces unnecessary wear and malfunction, maximizing the potential of the segment.

Design of Diamond Segment Shapes

The geometric shape of the diamond segments directly impacts the cutting performance, sharpness, and longevity of the saw blade. Different segment designs are essential for improving cutting efficiency and reducing abnormal failure of diamonds. Common segment designs include:

• Dome-shaped segments: Initially, diamond segments mostly adopted uniform rectangular segments, but this design easily leads to severe wear on both sides, with less wear in the center, affecting the cutting effect.

• Layered "sandwich" concave segments: To address the drawbacks of dome-shaped segments, concave segments were designed. The outer layer has a high diamond concentration and strong wear resistance, while the inner layer is specially designed to reduce friction, avoiding rapid wear on both sides.

• L-shaped segments, stepped segments, side-grooved segments, etc.: These segment designs aim to enhance the chip removal and cooling capabilities of the segment, improve cooling effects, and reduce friction between the segment and the stone or sawdust, thus lowering energy consumption and enhancing overall cutting performance.

Function Optimization of the Diamond Segments

Besides structural design, the shape of the diamond segments also affects its chip removal, cooling, and lubrication functions. A well-designed segment can not only improve cutting efficiency but also reduce friction and extend the segment's service life. For example:

• Side chip-removal wavy segment: This design can effectively remove sawdust generated during the cutting process, reducing the resistance caused by chip accumulation.

• Segments with pre-set cooling holes: Pre-set cooling holes in the design ensure effective temperature control during the cutting process, preventing the segment from overheating.

• Segments with pre-set solid lubricants: The design incorporates lubricants within the segment, reducing friction, lowering temperature, and extending the service life of the diamond segment.

Continuous Innovation of the Diamond Segments

Although the current design and production of diamond segments heavily rely on accumulated experience and different manufacturers have varying design standards, with continuous technological advancements, the structure design of diamond segments is moving towards higher efficiency and durability. Various innovative designs, combined with the characteristics of different cutting needs, will lead to superior performance of diamond saw blades.

By optimizing the structure and shape of the diamond segment, its cutting ability in materials of different hardness can be effectively improved, thereby providing more efficient and economical cutting solutions for various industries. Understanding the advantages of different segment structural designs will help in choosing the most suitable product when selecting diamond saw blades.
