One of the major issues that diamond tool industries are faced when using diamond tools is destabilizing. This occurs when the core of the blade wears out ahead of the diamond coating. This is usually caused by the accumulation of abrasive slur which erodes the steel core disc. The toughest gem, which is mostly used in concrete and asphalt cutting applications, are left with nothing to hold onto once the core had worn out. This issue usually happens just beneath the blade segments, making the teeth-like rim sections at risk of breaking off as well.
The danger of destabilizing
The most common application that creates destabilizing is in the road asphalt project in which the abrasive causes the center of diamond tools to wear out easily. As the destabilizing effect is focused just below the teeth of the diamond blade, this can also severe those parts as the erosion of the core becomes worse. Plus, the rocky matter that the steel disc penetrates can further exacerbate the problem by triggering a segment break off. As such, the worst scenario would be a costly downtime of the cutting operation.
Dealing with the problem of destabilizing
Destabilizing leads to a situation wherein the blade segments turned into a knife-like edge. With just a bit more pressure applied to the tool, the weakest segment will begin to wear off. When this happens, the most abrasive and toughest material ever known will become nothing but a piece of waste when the rim segment is destroyed. Fortunately, there is a solution to prevent this issue from happening with diamond cutting tools with destabilizing protection. It is also known as the knife-edging effect that is attached below the blade segments to minimize the effects of destabilizing. This feature is a great must-have to prolong the life of diamond tools by protecting its core.
