<p>A method for simultaneously slicing a multiplicity of wafers from a substantially circular-cylindrical workpiece that is connected to a sawing strip includes executing a relative movement between the workpiece and a wire gang of a wire saw with the aid of a forward feed device with a defined forward feed rate so as to slice the wafers. The forward feed rate is varied through the course of the method and includes being set to a value v1 at a cutting depth of 50% of the workpiece diameter. Subsequently, the forward feed rate is to a value v2>1.15×v1 as the forward feed rate passes through a local maximum. The forward feed rate is set to a value v3<v1 when the wire gang first comes into contact with the sawing strip. The forward feed rate is increased to a value v5>v3.</p> |
