Study on Force Characteristics for High Speed Sawing of Quartz Glass with Diamond Blade

Abstract

High speed sawing is an advanced machining technique for sawing of brittle materials with good component quality and high productivity. In the paper, sawing experiments were carried out to investigate the characteristics of sawing forces by altering many processing parameters in high speed sawing of quartz glass with a diamond blade. The sawing forces and force ratio were analyzed. The conclusions present that in the fixed material removal rate, the increasing of periphery speed can help to lower sawing forces and force ratio; sawing forces increase with material removal rate; in the high speed sawing, the effect of material removal rate on sawing forces is smaller than the one in the low speed.
