Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and devices for manufacturing abrasive grain-fixed saw wires for use in the processes of slicing various electronic materials typified by single-crystal silicon or the like.
  • Abrasive grain-fixed saw wires for use in the processes of slicing various electronic materials are formed by fixing abrasive grains of diamond, CBN, or the like, onto the outer peripheries of the wires.
  • Methods used to fix diamond include resin bonding and electrodeposition by which abrasive grains are fixed by electroplating.
  • the resin bonding method has a drawback of providing a shorter life of a wire because resin is weak in force of holding abrasive grains.
  • the electrodeposition method provides a longer life of a wire but has a drawback of decreasing productive efficiency (production speed is low and wider space is necessary).
  • the production efficiency can be significantly improved with higher production speed, cost reduction, and the like.
  • the amount of abrasive grains adhered to the outer surface of a wire varies largely on the degree of dispersion of abrasive grains in the plating solution, influence of plating efficiency, and the like, and thus the wire may have densely adhered portions and sparsely adhered portions. Therefore, it is difficult to adhere and distribute abrasive grains evenly to the outer surface of the wire in a stable manner.
  • the amount of precipitated plating is influenced by the immersed surface area, electric current density, and immersion time.
  • the electric current value is increased to raise the electric current density, the wire generates heat and thus may be broken.
  • the immersed surface area is increased, the electric current density tends to decrease, and it is necessary to use a larger plating tank and increase the amount of plating solution, which causes a problem with production costs.
