SmCo Magnet Cutting Process Parameters and Best Practices
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

A diamond wire saw can produce NdFeB surfaces with Ra 0.3–0.5 μm straight off the cut. That sounds good on paper — and it often is good enough for magnets
Sintered NdFeB is one of the hardest permanent magnet materials to cut cleanly. The grain boundaries are brittle, the Nd-rich phase oxidizes fast when exposed to moisture, and any thermal
A clean cut through optical glass looks almost polished — no visible marks, no micro-cracks, no chipping at the edges. A bad cut through the same glass looks frosted, has
Every cutting diamond wire application comes down to four numbers: wire speed, wire tension, feed rate, and wire diameter. Get these right and the process runs itself — clean cuts,
In a traditional wire saw, the wire runs from one spool to another and back — hundreds of meters of wire, reciprocating through the cut zone. In an endless wire
±0.03 mm. That’s the cutting precision tolerance on Vimfun endless wire saws — and it’s a number we stand behind across glass, ceramics, quartz, and sapphire applications. But tolerance on
Most engineers setting up their first diamond wire cut ask the same question: how fast should the wire run? The short answer — for most hard and brittle materials, somewhere
A 0.5 mm diamond wire running at 60 m/s removes material from a sapphire boule without generating measurable heat at the cut zone. No blade vibration. No thermal stress cracks.
A customer once asked us why two visually identical diamond wire loops — same diameter, same diamond grit size, same advertised tension rating — gave them wildly different cutting results.
