New techniques to affix diamond particles to a steel wire core have advanced to make this process feasible for the machining of ceramics, wood, and foam materials. Developments in fixed abrasive diamond wire machining are first reviewed. Advantages of using fixed abrasive diamond wire machining are then introduced. The process monitoring and signal processing techniques for measuring the cutting forces, wire speed, down feed rate, and wire bow angle in diamond wire saw machining are developed. The application of a capacitance sensor to measure the wire bow and a procedure to convert the wire bow to vertical cutting force in a rocking motion wire saw machine are developed. The tension force of the wire during cutting is also derived and discussed.}, number={5}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MACHINE TOOLS & MANUFACTURE}, author={Clark, WI and Shih, AJ and Hardin, CW and Lemaster, RL and McSpadden, SB}, year={2003}, month={Apr}, pages={523–532} }

Three types of wood—pine, oak, and fir, and three types of foam ceramic—silicon carbide, zirconia, and zirconia toughened alumina, are tested. The research investigates the life of diamond wire and effects of process parameters on the cutting forces, force ratio, and surface roughness. A scanning electron microscope is used to study the worn diamond wire, machined surfaces, and debris. The diamond wire saw is demonstrated to be very effective in machining foam ceramics. The wire life for cutting wood at slow feed rates is low. The short tool life for dry cutting of wood indicates that more research in new fixed abrasive diamond wire and wire saw machining technologies is necessary.}, number={5}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MACHINE TOOLS & MANUFACTURE}, author={Clark, WI and Shih, AJ and Lemaster, RL and McSpadden, SB}, year={2003}, month={Apr}, pages={533–542} }
