Abrasion (mechanical)
Abrasion is the process of scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, or rubbing away.
See Wire saw and Abrasion (mechanical)
Bandsaw
A bandsaw (also written band saw) is a power saw with a long, sharp blade consisting of a continuous band of toothed metal stretched between two or more wheels to cut material. Wire saw and bandsaw are cutting machines, Metalworking cutting tools and saws.
Bluegrass Companies
Bluegrass Companies is a non-explosive demolition company headquartered in Greenville, Alabama.
See Wire saw and Bluegrass Companies
Boule (crystal)
A boule is a single-crystal ingot produced by synthetic means.
See Wire saw and Boule (crystal)
Computer-aided design
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
See Wire saw and Computer-aided design
Computer-aided manufacturing
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) also known as computer-aided modeling or computer-aided machining is the use of software to control machine tools in the manufacturing of work pieces.
See Wire saw and Computer-aided manufacturing
Concrete
Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time.
Cutting
Cutting is the separation or opening of a physical object, into two or more portions, through the application of an acutely directed force.
Diameter
In geometry, a diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the centre of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle.
Diamond
Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic.
A diamond tool is a cutting tool with diamond grains fixed on the functional parts of the tool via a bonding material or another method. Wire saw and diamond tool are Metalworking cutting tools.
Explosive
An explosive (or explosive material) is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.
Foam
Foams are materials formed by trapping pockets of gas in a liquid or solid.
Foam rubber
Foam rubber (also known as cellular rubber, sponge rubber, or expanded rubber) refers to rubber that has been manufactured with a foaming agent to create an air-filled matrix structure.
Granite
Granite is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase.
Length
Length is a measure of distance.
Lubricant
A lubricant (sometimes shortened to lube) is a substance that helps to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move.
Machine shop
A machine shop or engineering workshop is a room, building, or company where machining, a form of subtractive manufacturing, is done.
Marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of carbonate minerals (most commonly calcite (CaCO3) or dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2)) that have crystallized under the influence of heat and pressure.
Mineral processing
Mineral processing is the process of separating commercially valuable minerals from their ores in the field of extractive metallurgy.
See Wire saw and Mineral processing
Mining
Mining is the extraction of valuable geological materials and minerals from the surface of the Earth.
Monocrystalline silicon
Monocrystalline silicon, more often called single-crystal silicon, in short mono c-Si or mono-Si, is the base material for silicon-based discrete components and integrated circuits used in virtually all modern electronic equipment.
See Wire saw and Monocrystalline silicon
Numerical control
In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), is the automated control of tools by means of a computer.
See Wire saw and Numerical control
Photovoltaics
Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry.
See Wire saw and Photovoltaics
Plane (mathematics)
In mathematics, a plane is a two-dimensional space or flat surface that extends indefinitely.
See Wire saw and Plane (mathematics)
Polyethylene
Polyethylene or polythene (abbreviated PE; IUPAC name polyethene or poly(methylene)) is the most commonly produced plastic.
Polystyrene
Polystyrene (PS) is a synthetic polymer made from monomers of the aromatic hydrocarbon styrene.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane (often abbreviated PUR and PU) refers to a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links.
Quarry
A quarry is a type of open-pit mine in which dimension stone, rock, construction aggregate, riprap, sand, gravel, or slate is excavated from the ground.
Reciprocating saw
A reciprocating saw is a type of handheld, small, machine-powered saw, in which the cutting action is achieved through a push-and-pull ("reciprocating") or back-and-forth motion of the blade. Wire saw and reciprocating saw are saws.
See Wire saw and Reciprocating saw
Rope
A rope is a group of yarns, plies, fibres, or strands that are twisted or braided together into a larger and stronger form.
Sand
Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided mineral particles.
Saw
A saw is a tool consisting of a tough blade, wire, or chain with a hard toothed edge used to cut through material. Wire saw and saw are saws.
See Wire saw and Saw
Semiconductor
A semiconductor is a material that has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as copper, and an insulator, such as glass.
See Wire saw and Semiconductor
Stained glass
Stained glass is coloured glass as a material or works created from it.
See Wire saw and Stained glass
Survivalism
Survivalism is a social movement of individuals or groups (called survivalists, doomsday preppers or preppers) who proactively prepare for emergencies, such as natural disasters, and other disasters causing disruption to social order (that is, civil disorder) caused by political or economic crises.
Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor
The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) was an experimental tokamak built at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) circa 1980 and entering service in 1982.
See Wire saw and Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor
Wafer (electronics)
In electronics, a wafer (also called a slice or substrate) is a thin slice of semiconductor, such as a crystalline silicon (c-Si, silicium), used for the fabrication of integrated circuits and, in photovoltaics, to manufacture solar cells.
See Wire saw and Wafer (electronics)
Wire
Overhead power cabling. The conductor consists of seven strands of steel (centre, high tensile strength), surrounded by four outer layers of aluminium (high conductivity). Sample diameter 40 mm A wire is a flexible, round, bar of metal.
Wire rope
Steel wire rope (right hand lang lay) Wire rope is composed of as few as two solid, metal wires twisted into a helix that forms a composite rope, in a pattern known as laid rope.
