Research on the Physical Properties and Cutting Techniques of Hard Tiles and Marble

Cutting tiles and marble often leads to problems such as chipping and cracking due to improper tool selection and chaotic operation processes. In this article, we will deeply analyze the physical properties of hard materials and common misunderstandings, and systematically break down the full - process standard operating specifications from saw blade selection to feed control. With real - life cases and visual demonstrations, we aim to help you avoid risks and improve efficiency.

User Cognitive Blind Spots

One of the most common mistakes in tile and marble cutting is the misuse of ordinary saw blades. Ordinary saw blades are not designed to handle the hardness of tiles and marble. For example, using a general - purpose saw blade for marble cutting can reduce the cutting efficiency by up to 50% and increase the probability of edge chipping to over 30%. Have you ever encountered such problems in your cutting work?

Material Properties

The hardness and brittleness of tiles and marble have a significant impact on the cutting process. Hardness determines the ability of the material to resist penetration, while brittleness means that the material is prone to cracking under stress. For instance, porcelain tiles with a Mohs hardness of 6 - 7 are much more difficult to cut than softer ceramic tiles. When cutting brittle materials like marble, improper cutting force can cause cracks, reducing the usability of the material by about 20%.

Operation Process

The operation process is crucial for successful cutting. Here is a detailed breakdown:

1. Installation: Ensure the saw blade is correctly installed. Incorrect installation can lead to uneven cutting and increase the risk of blade damage.
2. Feed Angle: The feed angle should be between 10 - 15 degrees for most tile and marble cutting. A wrong feed angle can cause excessive wear on the saw blade and poor cutting quality.
3. Coolant Use: Using coolant can reduce the temperature of the saw blade and the material, improving cutting efficiency by about 30% and extending the service life of the saw blade.
4. Protective Equipment Wearing: Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and a dust mask to protect yourself from flying debris and dust.

Case Comparison Analysis

Let's look at two cases. In the correct operation case, a professional used a suitable UHD super - hard brazed diamond saw blade, followed the standard operation process, and completed the cutting of 10 square meters of marble in 2 hours with almost no chipping or cracking. In the wrong operation case, an inexperienced worker used an ordinary saw blade, ignored the feed angle, and did not use coolant. It took 4 hours to cut the same amount of marble, and more than 20% of the marble had visible defects.

Technical Details with Visual Aids

To better understand the technical details, we provide some visual aids such as information charts. The following is a simple cutting parameter comparison table:

As an expert suggestion, always choose the right saw blade according to the material properties. A professional saw blade is the key to ensuring cutting quality, safety, and efficiency.
