[0002] Annular diamond cutting wire is an efficient and precise cutting tool that utilizes the superhard properties of diamond and combines the advantages of an annular design. It is often used for cutting hard materials, such as for precision cutting of precious hard and brittle materials such as semiconductor wafers, gemstones, and crystals, and for truncation and squaring of single crystal silicon and polycrystalline silicon.

[0003] Compared with ordinary diamond cutting wire, annular diamond cutting wire has stable mechanical properties. It does not require reversing when used and can perform continuous unidirectional cycle cutting. It can not only greatly increase the cutting speed, but also effectively reduce the vibration of the tool during the cutting process, ensuring high cutting precision.

[0004] Traditional ring-shaped diamond cutting wires are typically made from strong stainless steel or heat-drawn tungsten wire, braided into a ring shape by machine or hand, and then coated with consolidated diamond abrasive grains. However, during production, the ends of the wires are difficult to secure, making them prone to loosening and imperfections, affecting the quality and lifespan of the wire. Furthermore, imperforate wires can easily injure the operator's fingers. Utility Model Content

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] Example 1: Figure 1-2 As shown, the utility model discloses a metal wire ring, comprising a metal wire 1. The metal wire 1 comprises an inner core matrix 2 and a metal outer layer 3. The inner core matrix 2 is made of tungsten, molybdenum metal or its alloy, or stainless steel. The metal outer layer 3 is made of weldable ductile metal and covers the outer surface of the inner core matrix 2. The metal wire 1 in the metal wire ring can be provided as a single strand, a double strand or multiple strands, and can be woven into a ring shape by one or more methods including end-to-end connection, self-winding, and winding of two or more strands to obtain a metal wire ring.

[0032] Due to the weldability of the outer metal layer 3, the end of any strand of metal wire 1 can be welded to itself or to another strand of metal wire 1 through the outer metal layer 3. Fixing is simple and quick, and after welding, the end of the metal wire 1, i.e., the joint of the wire loop, is less likely to loosen, unravel, or pierce, thereby ensuring the quality of the wire loop and extending its service life.

[0033] The metal outer layer 3 is a single or multi-layer metal layer bonded to the inner core substrate 1 by hot-dip, electroplating, chemical plating, etc. It can be made of copper, tin, zinc, cobalt, nickel, manganese metal or their alloys and has weldability under normal conditions.

[0034] As the basis for welding fixation, when the metal outer layer 3 adopts a single-layer structure, the corresponding cross-sectional structure of the metal wire 1 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the metal outer layer 3 is preferably made of brass.

[0035] When the metal outer layer 3 adopts a double-layer structure, the corresponding cross-sectional structure of the metal wire 1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the metal outer layer 3 includes a first metal layer 4 and a second metal layer 5. The inner core substrate 2, the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 5 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. The first metal layer 4 is made of copper or a copper alloy, and the second metal layer 5 is made of zinc, tin or an alloy thereof. The alloying effect during thermal diffusion fusion with the first metal layer 4 is better.

[0036] On this basis, if Figure 4 As shown, an intermediate diffusion prevention layer 6 can be added between the first metal layer 4 and the inner core substrate 2. The intermediate diffusion prevention layer 6 is made of tungsten, molybdenum, iron, nickel, manganese, or alloys thereof. Tungsten or molybdenum is preferably used. During the production process of the metal wire 1, the intermediate diffusion prevention layer 6 can prevent the inner core substrate 2 from diffusing into the first metal layer 4 and improve the bonding strength.

[0037] During welding, the end of any strand of wire 1 can be brazed and secured to itself or another strand of wire 1 using a low-melting-point metal solder. Brazing the ends of the wires 1 offers advantages such as minimal deformation and a smooth, aesthetically pleasing joint. By controlling the welding temperature and the amount of low-melting-point metal solder used, the ends of the wires 1, i.e., the joints of the wire loops, can be perfectly sealed. The resulting sealing section 7 prevents the wire 1 ends from piercing or becoming loose, potentially causing the loop to become loose, without increasing the diameter of the loop and without affecting subsequent operations such as degreasing, rust removal, and nickel plating. This means that when using this wire loop to produce diamond cutting wire, a product with improved quality and a longer service life can be obtained without changing the existing diamond cutting wire production process.

[0038] The low-melting-point metal solder can be in a variety of forms, including but not limited to welding wire, solder paste, and solder powder. Preferably, the low-melting-point metal solder is made of solder material. Taking solder wire as an example, during welding, a layer of flux can be applied to the surface of the end of the metal wire 1 and then heated. The solder wire is then placed at the end of the metal wire 1 and heated to melt it into a liquid state. The melted solder wire can flow on the surface of the metal wire 1, infiltrating the metal outer layer 3, and filling and retaining the gap around the end of the metal wire 1 through capillary action. After solidification, a weld structure, namely a solder sealing section 7, is formed, which firmly connects the end of the metal wire 1 to its surroundings.

[0039] Unlike soldering with wire, solder paste can be applied directly to the end of the wire 1. Heat and melt the paste, allowing it to diffuse and penetrate the gaps in the wire loops, thereby solidifying the joint. Prior to operation, flux can be applied to the surface of the wire 1 or not, depending on practical convenience.

[0040] According to the use requirements, the metal wire ring can be formed into a ring in a variety of ways. When the metal wire ring is composed of a single strand of metal wire 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the metal wire 1 can be bent into a ring shape, and the ends are welded and fixed to each other.

[0041] You can also use Figure 5 In the manner shown, the metal wire 1 is divided into a first metal wire 8 and a second metal wire 9 for winding. As an example, Figure 6-8 As shown, the first metal wire 8 is bent into a ring shape as the inner core of the metal wire ring, and the second metal wire 9 is spirally wound around the first metal wire 8 to improve the overall tensile strength. After the second metal wire 9 is wound 6 times, it forms the following Figure 6 Wire loop shown.

[0042] In general, the first metal wire 8 and the second metal wire 9 are relatively independent before braiding, that is, the metal wire loop is formed by twisting two or more metal wires together. In special cases, one end of the first metal wire 8 and one end of the second metal wire 9 can also be integrally formed, which is equivalent to using a single metal wire 1, bending a portion of it into a loop, and spirally twisting the other portion to form a metal wire loop.

[0043] In summary, the metal wire ring has various structural forms and excellent quality, with firm joints, few overall defects, not easy to loosen, and long service life.

[0044] Example 2: Based on Example 1 above, the present invention discloses a diamond cutting wire comprising the aforementioned wire loop and diamond abrasive particles, with the diamond abrasive particles being plated and bonded to the outer surface of the wire loop. This diamond cutting wire is of high quality, with few overall defects and weak points, and has a low risk of loose joints and wire breakage during use, resulting in a long service life.

[0045] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
