Diamond

Diamond is the hardest material that could perform cutting, polishing or drilling. The diamond tools distributed by Diatech Kft. are only made of synthetic, artificial diamond, due to its excellent cutting characteristics.

Segments

The so-called segments that are fixed to the carrier surface consist of different types of metal powders and diamond grains. Depending on the field of application, there are 3 different methods for fixing the segments on the metal blade:
  • sintering
  • laser welding
  • brazing
The cutting performance of the diamond tools is independent of the segment fixation – it only depends on the quality of the diamond and the bond

Shape of the segments

We offer cutting blades with different segment shapes, which determine the quality of the cutting resulting in a cutting trail. The closer the teeth of the segment are to each other, the more clean and excellent cutting trail you get. In case of cutting blades with continuous edge the result will be the most excellent. On the other hand, the segmented and the rarely-toothed tools have good cooling characteristics, in addition they have a great level of penetration into soft materials.

Closed diamond coating, continuous edge

  • The cleanest cutting trail
  • For special goings and tiles (porcelain, ceramic)

Zárt gyémántbevonat, nútozott él "turbó"

  • Clean cutting trail
  • Greater cutting depth
  • For general building-trade materials

Segmented, close-toothed „keyhole”

  • Clean cutting trail
  • Greater cutting depth
  • For hard materials

Turbo-segmented

  • All benefits of types turbo and segmented
  • Clean cutting trail
  • Greater cutting depth
  • For hard materials

Segmented, rare toothing "u-cut"

  • Fine cutting trail
  • Better cooling characteristics
  • For mid-hard and soft materials

Bonding

To stick the diamond to the segment, different types of metal powders are used. Using bronze or copper leads to soft bond, whilst adding wolfram-caramid or hard metal results in hard bond. You must always choose the bond based on the hardness of the material to be cut. To cut an abrasive material you will need a hard bond, to cut a hard material you will need a soft one.

Cutting dry or wet

Our blades can be used either for dry or wet cutting. Most of our products are recommended to be used dry, which involves more thermal stress. Of course they can also be used wet in case you have the appropriate cutting equipment, which cutting can lead to longer tool life cycle.
