Features of Diamond Blades

Diamond blades are often used in construction to cut denser material such as glass, stone and metal. Many companies produce diamond blades to be used for different functions.

Diamond Hardness

• Diamonds are the strongest and hardest natural resource available, when compared to any other natural mineral.

Diamonds Utilized to Cut

• Due to the hardness of a diamond it is often used to cut through many other minerals. This helps a lot of people in construction or people who have to manipulate other hard, dense objects.

A diamond blade is a saw blade which has diamonds fixed on the blade's base to use the diamonds to cut hard or abrasive materials. There are many types of diamond blades, and they have been applied in many industries, for example, construction industry to cut stone, concrete, asphalt, bricks, coal balls glass and ceramics, IT industry to cut semiconductor materials, and gem industry to cut gem stones including diamonds.

A diamond saw blade is a saw blade with diamonds on the end. It is used to cut tougher materials such as concrete, asphalt and bricks. There are many different types of diamond blades, but all of them serve the same purpose. They can be used for circular saws, band saws and gang saws. If categorized by their style, diamond blades are available in different types: circular saw blades, gang saw blades and band saw blades. Circular diamond saw blades are commonly sighted and the most widely used. Most diamond blades are of this style. A diamond gang saw blade is a long steel plate with segments of diamond welded on it. Normally, a group (tens or even hundreds) of diamond gang saw blades are used together to saw raw stone blocks. A diamond band saw blade is a flexible closed steel band with diamonds fixed (often via the electroplating method) on the teeth of one side of the band.

There are many methods to attach diamonds onto the saw blade's base. A common method is sintering the mixture of diamonds and metal powders are formed to the blade's cutting edges—diamond segments, and the produced diamond blades can be called sintered metal-bonded diamond blades. Other methods include electroplating, vacuum brazing, extruding and so on.
