Giới thiệu

Cắt silicon carbide (SiC) rings, especially along the inner circular edge, poses unique challenges due to the material’s extreme hardness, brittleness, and often complex geometry. Whether used in mechanical seals, thermal insulation systems, or semiconductor furnace components, the need for a precise and non-destructive cutting method is critical.

This is where the cưa dây kim cương vô tận technology comes in.

Why Is Cutting the Inner Circle So Difficult?

Traditional tools like blades, waterjets, or grinding wheels often struggle to:

  • Reach and cut the inner circumference of a ring structure
  • Maintain dimensional precision without introducing cracks
  • Avoid thermal damage or contamination on sensitive SiC surfaces

Các inner circle of a SiC ring may need to be cut open, enlarged, or separated for:

  • Fitting assemblies
  • Customized mechanical tolerances
  • Creating slotted or notched ring structures
  • Reducing internal stress after sintering

Endless Diamond Wire Saw: A Cleaner, Smarter Alternative

Unlike reciprocating spool wire saws or rotary blades, an cưa dây kim cương vô tận uses a closed-loop wire to achieve continuous, high-speed, and flexible cutting.

Advantages in SiC Ring Inner Cutting:

FeatureBenefit
🔁 360° endless loopSeamless motion without reversal; smoother cuts
🔍 Fine wire (0.35–0.6 mm)Minimal kerf loss; ideal for precision inner shapes
❄️ Cold cuttingNo heat-affected zone (HAZ); preserves material properties
🚫 Low vibrationPrevents edge chipping or microcracks
CNC programmableSupports circular slots, grooves, and contour followin

Typical Applications of SiC Ring Cutting

Even if the final industry isn’t known, common end uses include:

  • Mechanical seal rings (for pumps, compressors)
  • SiC hot zone support rings (used in crystal growth furnaces)
  • Plasma etching components in semiconductor tools
  • High-temperature ceramic insulators and guide rings
  • Customized ring electrodes for PVD/CVD coating
  • Equipment Recommendation
