What is the definition of diamond tools?

Diamond tools refer to a class of tool products that use diamond particles or powder as the main element. Such tool types include cutting, grinding, drilling, milling, and polishing. With the continuous development of the economy, diamond tools are not only widely used in civil construction and civil engineering, automobile industry, geological prospecting, and defense industry, and other modern high-tech fields, but also in many new fields such as gems, medical equipment, wood, fiberglass, etc. Fields continue to appear, and society's demand for diamond tools is increasing year by year.

What is the classification of diamond tools?

1. Diamond tools are divided into three categories according to bond: resin, metal, and ceramic bond diamond tools. The metal bond process is divided into sintering, electroplating, and brazing.

2. Diamond tools classified according to their purpose and structure:

(1) Abrasive tools-grinding wheels, rollers, drums, edging wheels, grinding discs, bowl grinding, soft grinding discs, etc;

(2) Sawing tools-circular saw blades, gang saws, wire saws, tube saws, band saws, chain saws, wire saws;

(3) Drilling tools-glass drill bits, metallurgical drill bits, oil well drill bits, engineering thin-wall drill bits, stone drill bits, etc;

(4) Other tools-trimming tools, knives, drawing dies, etc.

Compared with the metal bond matrix, the resin and ceramic bond matrix have lower strength and are not suitable for sawing, drilling, and trimming tools. Generally, there are only abrasive products.

In which areas are diamond tools used?

Diamond is hard, so the made diamond tools 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. Diamond tools can also be used to process non-ferrous metals, alloys, and wood, such as copper, aluminum, cemented carbide, hardened steel, cast iron, and composite wear-resistant wood boards. At present, diamond tools have been widely used in industries such as construction, building materials, petroleum, geology, metallurgy, machinery, electronics, ceramics, wood, and automobiles. According to their different uses, diamond tools are mainly divided into several categories: diamond grinding tools, diamond sawing tools, diamond cutting tools, and diamond drilling tools.

As far as product positioning is concerned, the diamond tool market is roughly divided into the professional market and the general market. The requirements of the professional market for diamond tools are mainly reflected in the higher performance indicators, that is, for specific cutting equipment and specific cutting materials, diamond tools must meet certain technical indicators such as cutting efficiency, cutting life, and processing accuracy.

What are the common powder materials and characteristics of diamond tools?

The raw materials of diamond tools, except diamond, are mainly powders. These powders can be metals, non-metals, alloys, and compounds. The powder used in diamond tools not only has certain requirements for chemical composition, but also has different requirements for the size, shape, loose specific gravity, compressibility, and sinterability of the powder particles. This depends on factors such as the use, variety, and production process of diamond tools.

Fe is low in price and has good wettability and holding power to diamond. It is the most widely used basic material in diamond tools. The consumption of other non-ferrous metal powders used in conjunction with it is also considerable.

Co is the binding agent with the best comprehensive performance among the various metals currently available. At present, except for high-end engineering thin-walled drills with a relatively high proportion of Co application, the proportion of Co application in other types of diamond tools is declining, but the application proportion of Cu, Sn, and Ni is still relatively high, especially the price increase of Ni It greatly increases the production cost of diamond tools.

It is the responsibility of each manufacturer to produce an industrial diamond tool that meets the standards, to ensure the healthy development of the diamond tools market. Hubei Little Ant Diamond Tools CO., Ltd. conducts many tests on the diamond tools before they leave the factory, and the quality qualification rate is guaranteed. If you are in the diamond tools business, you can consider our cost-effective products.
