Laser-Welded Diamond Saw Blades

Laser welding uses a high-powered laser to fuse segments of diamond onto the steel core. Creating an incredibly strong bond which offers a range of benefits when compared to other bonding methods. 

Once diamond segments are positioned on the steel core, a high-intensity laser beam is directed at the interface between the two components. The laser melts and combines the metal of the diamond segment and the steel core, creating a strong, localized weld.

This process represents the best choice for blade durability, safety, and performance.

The Best Bond Strength: Laser-welding creates a virtually inseparable bond, making it the ideal choice for demanding cutting applications.

Enhanced Safety: Thanks to the superior bond strength, blades have a significantly reduced segment loss during operation. Segment loss is when the steel or diamond pieces lose their bond and detach while the blade is in use. This is especially common when dry cutting due to the higher heat buildup.

Suitable for Dry Cutting: Laser-welded diamond blades can be used for both dry cutting and wet cutting, however, they are the blade of choice for dry cutting due to their increased strength and heat resistance.

Longer Blade Life: Contractors often report a 35% longer blade life from laser-welded blades when compared to other bond types.

Versatility: Laser-welded blades are highly versatile and are often used  for cutting a wide range of tough materials, including concrete, asphalt, granite, brick, block, and other demanding construction materials.

Concrete Cutting: The number one use for Laser-Welded Diamond Blades is concrete cutting. Laser-welded blades are highly effective for cutting various types of concrete, including:

• Cured Concrete: Hardened concrete in roads, sidewalks, slabs, foundations, and walls.
• Reinforced Concrete: Concrete with embedded rebar or wire mesh. The strong bond of the segments allows the blade to slice through both the concrete and the metal reinforcement without segment loss.
• Fresh Concrete: While some specific blades are designed for green concrete, the general-purpose laser-welded blades at Ontario Agra can often handle it.
• Pre-Cast Materials: Components like concrete pipes, culverts, and structural beams.

Asphalt Cutting: Asphalt is very abrasive and relies on the bond strength of laser-welded blades to withstand the wear and tear. They are generally used for road repair and construction, as well as creating expansion joints.

Masonry Cutting: Laser-welded diamond saw blades are an ideal choice for a range of masonry materials such as brick, concrete blocks, and landscape pavers.

Stone Cutting (General Purpose): While specialized blades exist for delicate stone, laser-welded blades can handle various types of natural stone such as granite or limestone. However, wet blades may be preferred for handling precision cuts on softer stone. 

Demolition and Renovation: Their ability to cut through mixed materials with confidence makes them valuable in demolition and renovation projects where different materials may be encountered.
