Splitting an Alumina Ceramic Ring Into Two: When the Entire Cutting Allowance Is 0.4 mm

A 10 mm thick alumina ceramic ring. A single cut. Two usable parts. This is not a standard slicing job. The geometry here is the challenge — and it’s a useful case for understanding what precision actually means when cutting advanced ceramics. The Application: One Workpiece, Two Finished Rings The customer’s objective wasn’t to cut […]

Wire Saw Cutting for Tungsten and Molybdenum

Technical Trends / By levy

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 rod for cross-sectional analysis. Their abrasive saw had shattered three samples before they called us. The rod looked fine on the outside, but tungsten’s ductile-to-brittle

Diamond Wire Cutting for Titanium Alloys

Technical Trends / By levy

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. The second cut pulled the wire sideways by 0.3 mm. By the fifth cut, the wire had lost 15% of its diamond grit. The problem

Ferrite Magnet Cutting for SmCo and Ferrite Magnets

Technical Trends / By levy

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 1 in 4 during slicing. The answer was thermal shock. SmCo has a fracture toughness around 1.0 MPa·m^(1/2), roughly the same as window glass, and

NdFeB Magnet Cutting with Diamond Wire Saws

Technical Trends / By levy

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, edge chipping, coating damage, wire vibration, and fine grinding debris trapped in the kerf. That is why a diamond wire saw is often a better

Hard Metal Cutting with Diamond Wire Saw — Titanium, Tungsten, and Molybdenum

Technical Trends / By levy

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 carbide inserts because the heat has nowhere to go — its thermal conductivity is roughly 7 W/m·K, about one-sixth of steel. Pure tungsten is harder

Magnet Cutting Machine: How to Choose the Right One

Technical Trends / By levy

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 quality, and faster throughput. Get it wrong, and you’re stuck with equipment that doesn’t match your production reality — either too small for your volume

Magnet Cutting Troubleshooting Guide

Technical Trends / By levy

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 $50 SmCo blank with a groove in it. Before you adjust anything, read this magnet cutting troubleshooting guide — because the most common fix we

Magnet Cutting Coolant: Oil vs Water for Wire Sawing

Technical Trends / By levy

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 a sludge that clogs your filtration system for no benefit — ferrite doesn’t corrode in water. And on SmCo, it barely matters which you use,

SmCo Magnet Cutting Process Parameters and Best Practices

Technical Trends / By levy

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 to hold stable flux in a satellite for 15 years without maintenance. Then SmCo is suddenly the only option. The problem is that SmCo is
