Are resin cutting blades the same as diamond saw blades?
In the field of industrial cutting, both resin cutting disks and diamond saw blades are common cutting tools. However, they have significant differences in many aspects and cannot be simply regarded as the same. I. Constituent Materials (I) Resin Cutting Disks Resin cutting disks are mainly made by using resin as a binder to bond abrasives such as corundum and silicon carbide together. The resin plays a role in fixing the abrasives and endowing the cutting disk with certain strength and toughness. Corundum abrasives have high hardness and good wear resistance, and are suitable for cutting general steel materials. Silicon carbide abrasives, on the other hand, have even higher hardness and good thermal conductivity, and are often used for cutting cast iron, non – ferrous metals, and non – metallic materials. (II) Diamond Saw Blades Diamond saw blades use diamond as the cutting edge material. Diamond particles are fixed on the metal substrate through processes such as sintering and electroplating. As the hardest substance in nature, diamond endows the saw blade with excellent cutting performance, enabling it to easily cut materials with extremely high hardness, such as stones, concrete, and ceramics. II. Cutting Performance (I) Cutting Efficiency Thanks to its high – hardness diamond cutting edge, the diamond saw blade usually has a high cutting efficiency when cutting materials with high hardness. For example, when cutting marbles, granites, and other stones, the diamond saw blade can quickly penetrate the material, greatly shortening the cutting time. While the resin cutting disk can also have a good cutting efficiency when cutting materials with low hardness, such as ordinary steel. But for high – hardness materials, its cutting speed will slow down significantly. (II) Cutting Precision Due to the relatively small and evenly distributed abrasive particles, the resin cutting disk can achieve good…
