0.02 mm. Twenty beads were tested, and the average value was taken. For standard wire saw lengths, a Grade II steel tape measure is used; for closed-loop wire saw lengths, the guide rollers must be tensioned to 600N before using a Grade I steel tape measure. Or use a measuring instrument of equivalent precision for measurement.
8.5 Bond strength between abrasive layer and steel substrate
8.5.1 Test Apparatus The support base is made of cemented carbide or tool steel with a hardness of not less than 60 HRC. The inner diameter of the support base is determined by the outer diameter of the bead base. The outer diameter of the material should be 0.10mm to 0.15mm larger than that of the beaded matrix. The measuring range of the material testing machine should not exceed 30kN, and the accuracy should be grade 0.5.

b) The length of the abrasive layer and the outer diameter of the substrate of the beads were measured using a vernier caliper with a graduation of
0.02 mm, and the values were accurate to the decimal point. One. Place the specimen on the support, then start the testing machine at
0.5 mm/min at the center axis position of the steel substrate. The load is applied uniformly at a displacement velocity (as shown in Figure 5) until the abrasive layer peels off from the substrate, and the shear force (F1) at the time of peeling is recorded. The shear stress (tau1) value is calculated according to formula (1).

The hole diameter is determined based on the wire rope diameter. For samples with a bead outer diameter greater than
5.3 mm, the hole diameter should be
1.0 mm larger than the wire rope diameter. 1.5mm; for samples with an outer diameter of no more than 5.3mm for the beads, the diameter of the circular hole should be 0.2mm~0.5mm larger than the diameter of the wire rope. Material Testing The measuring range should not exceed 30kN, and the accuracy should be
0.5 grade.

b) The surface of the wire rope in the clamping part needs to be sandblasted.
c) Fix one end of the sample wire rope to the upper clamp of the material testing machine, and fix the test beads at the other end of the sample to the testing machine. The beads are placed on the lower clamp (as shown in Figure 6). They are moved at a constant displacement speed of 25 mm/min, and the shear force during bead peeling is recorded. (F2).
d) After the beads are completely separated from the wire rope, remove any remaining fixing material from the inner hole of the base material. Use an indexing value of 0.02mm. A vernier caliper is used to measure the inner diameter and length of the bead matrix, accurate to one decimal place. Shear stress (tau2) values are calculated according to... Calculate using equation (2).

7.The test conditions are the same as in 8.6.1.Apply force to move the pressure ring by at least [a certain amount of force]. Record the maximum force (F3) at a displacement of 25mm. Calculate the ratio of F3 to the minimum breaking strength of the corresponding specification wire rope. Five pressure rings were tested sequentially, and each pressure ring should meet the requirements of 7.8.
8.8 Connection strength of wire saw joints The test conditions are the same as in 8.6.1.For conventional wire saws, the wire saw specimen is clamped on a material testing machine as shown in Figure 8, and force is applied until the wire... The rope is released from the joint, and the maximum force (F4) at the time of release is recorded; for closed-loop wire saws, the sample containing the wire rope braided joint is clamped in the material test chamber. During the machine test, ensure the braided section is centered in the clamp, as shown in Figure
