Abstract
In the last years wire sawing processes has been invented for many applications in the field of natural stone and construction materials especially at very thick materials or difficult to access components. The diamond wire cutting was limited to small carbon steel shapes, such as pipelines for transporting gas or oil under sea. Especially the task of cutting pure steel components offers new fields of applications for i.e. retreatment of nuclear power or off-shore-components. The application of the wire sawing process for these specific cutting operations requires the development of adapted diamond tools to the cutting process. In this paper basic principles of wire sawing are explained and the background of diamond wire cutting of steel components are discussed. The interaction between the tool and the workpiece will be described in detail. The represented results of the project made for further developments of the diamond wire sawing technique emphasising the applications for metal components are described.
