Diamond Cutting Wheels Market Applications

Types of Cutting Wheels Used for Cast Iron

There are various types of cutting wheels that can be used for cast iron, each designed for specific applications. Some common types include:

Abrasive Cut-Off Wheels: These wheels are made of abrasive materials like aluminum oxide or silicon carbide. They are suitable for cutting through cast iron, providing a clean and precise cut.

Diamond cut off wheels vs abrasive

Diamond cut-off wheels and abrasive cut-off wheels are two distinct types of cutting tools, each with its unique characteristics and applications.

Diamond Cut-Off Wheels:

Material Composition: Diamond cut-off wheels are made with synthetic diamonds or diamond-coated materials. Diamonds are known for their hardness and durability.

Cutting Capability: Diamond cut-off wheels are exceptionally effective for cutting hard materials, including metals, ceramics, and concrete. They provide precise and clean cuts.

Longevity: Diamond wheels generally have a longer lifespan compared to abrasive wheels, making them a cost-effective choice over time.

Cooler Cutting: Diamond wheels generate less heat during cutting, reducing the risk of thermal damage to the workpiece.

Abrasive Cut-Off Wheels:

Material Composition: Abrasive cut-off wheels are typically made with abrasive grains bonded together. Common abrasives include aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and zirconia alumina.

Cutting Capability: While abrasive wheels are versatile, they are better suited for cutting softer materials like steel, iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Longevity: Abrasive wheels may wear out faster than diamond wheels, especially when cutting hard materials.

Heat Generation: Abrasive wheels can generate more heat during cutting, and this heat may affect the workpiece and the wheel itself.

Emerging Trend: Diamond Cutting Wheels Surpass Abrasive Counterparts

In a recent industry shift, there’s a notable surge in the adoption of diamond cutting wheels over traditional abrasive cut-off wheels. The driving factors behind this trend are the remarkable advantages in terms of efficiency, longevity, and environmental sustainability.
