3 methods for how to cut carbide.

Carbide, a material known for its high hardness and strong wear resistance, requires appropriate cutting methods to improve efficiency and processing quality. This article will introduce three common cutting methods for carbide: wire cutting, diamond saw blades, and laser cutting.

Wire cutting method.

Wire cutting is a commonly used cutting method for carbide. It utilizes fast wire or medium wire for simple shape cutting and fine wire for precision cutting. Wire cutting is commonly used in the mold industry or mechanical processing industry for cutting carbide. The specific details are as follows:

1. Fast Wire Cutting: Fast wire cutting is suitable for simple shape cutting, such as straight lines and simple contours. By applying current and impact force to the carbide, the fast wire quickly passes through the material, achieving rapid cutting. Fast wire cutting has lower precision but is efficient for cutting carbide.
2. Medium Wire Cutting: Medium wire cutting is suitable for situations that require higher cutting quality. The medium wire operates at a slower speed, allowing for more precise control of the cutting process and achieving higher cutting accuracy and surface quality.
3. Slow Wire Cutting: Slow wire cutting is suitable for high-precision cutting processes, with precision reaching 1µm.

Diamond saw blades.

Diamond saw blades are also commonly used cutting tools for carbide. They utilize the hardness and wear resistance of diamond particles to cut through carbide. When using diamond saw blades for cutting, the following points should be noted:

• Selecting the Right Blade: Choose a diamond saw blade that is suitable for the hardness of the carbide and the required cutting quality. Different types of diamond saw blades are suitable for different cutting tasks.
• Controlling Cutting Speed: When using diamond saw blades for cutting, it is important to control the cutting speed to avoid cutting quality degradation or blade damage caused by cutting too fast or too slow.
• Use of Coolants: Diamond saw blades generate heat during the cutting process. Using appropriate coolants can reduce the temperature, prolong the blade’s life, and improve cutting efficiency.

Laser cutting.

Laser cutting is a high-precision cutting method for carbide. It utilizes the high-energy density of a laser beam to instantly heat and vaporize the carbide, achieving cutting effects. Laser cutting has the following characteristics:

• High Precision: Laser cutting can achieve extremely precise cutting, suitable for complex contours and detailed cutting.
• Non-Contact: Laser cutting is a non-contact cutting method, which avoids damage or deformation caused by direct contact with the carbide surface.
• Fast Speed: Laser cutting is fast, making it suitable for mass production and high-efficiency requirements.

Carbide cutting methods vary, and the choice of a suitable cutting method depends on factors such as processing requirements, cutting shapes, and quality requirements. Wire cutting methods can be performed using fast wire or medium wire for simple. Diamond saw blades utilize high-hardness diamond particles to cut carbide, while laser cutting achieves high precision using a high-energy density laser beam. In practical applications, choose the appropriate cutting method based on specific needs to improve the efficiency and quality of carbide cutting.  We are a professional carbide machining factory, and if you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact us.
