An experimental and numerical approach has been carried out for to see the noise characteristics of a circular diamond saw. The noise level measurement result for the several kinds of shanks shows us that the noise level reduction in high frequency range could be an effective way to control the noise problem. Sandwich type shank whose center part is laminated with a low Young‘s modulus material greatly reduces the noise level. The noise level for the shank where several curve shaped slits are provided in the circumferential direction is reduced considerably too. The response spectrum analysis by the FEM shows us to be an alternative for predicting the noise characteristics of the shank.

An experimental and numerical approach has been carried out to characterize the noise and the safety of circular diamond saw with chinks by laser-cutting. The sound pressure level of a circular diamond saw with chinks was measured when cutting workpieces. Therefore, frequency analysis results show us that the sound level was reduced as position of chinks approach to out-diameter. But the safety of circular diamond saw was lower due to the stress concentrated at the edge of chinks while cutting workpieces. FEM analysis was used for safety evaluation with the variation position of chinks. The noise characteristics of circular diamond saw were also estimated during cutting test.

Tungsten carbide (WC) circular saws have been widely used to cut plywood. Recently, expensive polycrystalline diamond (PCD) were adopted to extend the tool life of circular saws. This study developed a PCD-WC combination circular saw and compared its performance with that of existing WC and PCD saws. Flank wear of WC saw blades and edge chipping of rectangular PCD was observed during the experiments. The PCD-WC saw replaced half of the chamfered teeth with PCD and applied tough WC for all rectangular teeth. In the experiments, edge chipping was not observed in rectangular WC teeth and the flank wear of chamfered teeth was decreased compared with that of conventional circular saws.

Distributions of diamond particles protruding on the surface of worn diamond segments in circular saw has been investigated. Scanning electron microscope was used to examine the worn ,surface and radial saw blade wear and grinding ratio was measured. The number of protruded diamond particle was approximately 50% of the total number of particles, and that was independent of diamond particle concentration and table speed. It was also noted that the inter-particle distance did not follow a symmetric function like Gaussian distribution function, instead it fitted well with a probability density function based on gamma function. The distribution of inter-particle spacing, therefore, was analyzed using a gamma function model.

The purpose of the present study is to determine an optimum composition using cheaper powders keeping with high performance of hard rock cutting diamond saw blade. With 50Fe-20(Cu . Sn)-30Co specimen, a part of Co was replaced by Ni(5%, 10%, and 15%, respectively). These specimens were hot pressed and sintered for predetermined time at various temperature. Sintering is performed by two different methods of temperature controlled method and specimen dimension controlled method. In order to determine the property of the sintered diamond saw blade, 3 point bending tester, X-ray diffractometer, and SEM were used. As the Co in the bond alloy was replaced by Ni, the hardness of the specimen increased. Thus the 50Fe-20(CuㆍSn)-15Co-15Ni specimen showed the maximum hardness of 104(HRB). The results of 3 point bending test showed that flexure strength decreased along with increase in Ni content. This is attributed to the formation of intermetallic compound(Ni$_{x}$Sn) determined by X-ray diffraction. The fracture surface after 3 point bending test showed that diamond was fractured in the specimen containing 0%, 5%, and 10%Ni, and the fracture occurred at the interface between diamond and matrix in the specimen containing 15%Ni. The cutting ability test showed that the abrasive property was not changed in the specimen containing 0%, 5%, and 10%Ni. The optimum composition determined in this study is 50Fe-20(CuㆍSn)-20Co-10Ni.
