Diamond Wire Research in Silicon Crystal Cutting
Introduction: In recent years, with the widespread application of superhard materials, the development of cutting and processing technology for hard and brittle materials has been rapid, with new processes, equipment, and methods constantly emerging. Superhard materials mainly refer to diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN), which appear in forms such as single crystals, polycrystals, and thin films, making them one of the most dynamic and promising materials in the high-tech field today. Diamond is known as the hardest substance in the world, possessing excellent properties such as high thermal conductivity, high insulation, and high chemical stability. It can be used for efficient and precise processing of non-ferrous metals and their alloys like aluminum and copper, especially suitable for processing hard and brittle non-metallic materials.Scope note: This article discusses fixed-abrasive diamond wire used in silicon slicing. For continuous-loop systems used in laboratory and specialty cutting, see Ensoll’s endless diamond wire solutions. In the past, the cutting of green silicon carbide and lightweight oil mixed in certain proportions to form a mortar not only had low efficiency but also caused severe pollution, making it difficult to meet market demands. The diamond wire emerged as a solution and has rapidly developed, with the...
