Wire Saw Cutting for Tungsten and Molybdenum
Pure tungsten cracks at room temperature. Not sometimes — almost always, if your cutting method generates any lateral force. We had a customer ship us a 25 mm diameter tungsten

Titanium fights back when you cut it. We learned this the hard way — a customer sent us Ti-6Al-4V turbine blade blanks for sample sectioning. The first cut looked perfect.
SmCo magnets crack without warning. We’ve had a customer send us a batch of Sm2Co17 arc segments — 40 pieces total — and ask why their blade saw was destroying
NdFeB magnets are strong, compact, and easy to damage during cutting. The problem is not only hardness. In NdFeB magnet cutting, the real trouble usually comes from brittle grain fracture,
Hard metal cutting is where most conventional tools fail fast. Titanium alloys, tungsten, and molybdenum share a reputation that anyone who’s machined them knows well: they destroy tooling. Ti-6Al-4V eats
Buying a magnet cutting machine is a decision most shops only make once every 5–10 years. Get it right, and the machine pays for itself in reduced scrap, better surface
Something went wrong with your cut. The edges are chipped, the surface is grey, the thickness varies across the slice, or the wire broke mid-cut and now you’ve got a
Pick the wrong coolant for magnet cutting and you’ll know within hours. On NdFeB, water-based coolant turns a freshly cut surface grey with Nd(OH)₃ corrosion. On ferrite, oil-based coolant creates
Samarium cobalt is the magnet material nobody talks about — until the application requires 300 °C operating temperature, or the environment is too corrosive for NdFeB, or the magnet needs
Ferrite is a strange material to machine. It’s technically a ceramic — hard, brittle, electrically non-conductive — but it’s also the world’s most mass-produced permanent magnet material. Billions of ferrite
