Wire saw with an abrasive wire and a method of manufacturing the abrasive wire

摘要

An abrasive wire (11) provides an efficient cutting operation with high accuracy and a longer service life. Abrasive grains (22c) are provided around a core wire (11a). The abrasive grains (22c) are bonded to the core wire (11a) by a light curing resin (11c) or an electron beam curing resin which can be cured within a few seconds. Accordingly, the curing operation can be performed while the core wire is moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the core wire. Thus, a long abrasive wire can be fabricated at reduced time and cost. <IMAGE>
