Development of cuttability abacuses in diamond wire cutting method on limestone sample

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop cuttability abacuses in diamond wire cutting method with single bead test machine on limestone sample. Therefore, single bead test machine that can best reflect the field conditions was developed in Hacettepe University Department of Mining Engineering and studies were made by using this machine. Cuttings on exclusively designed 300 diameter samples taken by using core drill were performed at four different peripheral and hoop rotation speeds. A cuttability abacuses in diamond wire cutting method taking into consideration the cutting rate with diamond wire and unit wear on diamond bead was developed with Design Expert 7.0 software for Sivrihisar Beige limestone sample by using the results obtained.
