Since its introduction in 1998, Saint-Gobain Abrasives' Winter fixed-diamond wire has delivered wafer sawing breakthroughs on a number of hard materials including sapphire, silicon, single-crystal SiC, quartz, and a variety of other ceramic materials. Winter's diamond wire has demonstrated superior cut rates vs. traditional bare wire and slurry technology, while providing excellent wafer accuracy and surface finish. This has been possible thanks to highly uniform grain distribution around and along the wire, ensuring consistent cutting action. Importantly, fixed-diamond technology is environmentally-friendly as it eliminates slurry recycling and disposal concerns.

Best of all, our robust manufacturing process is backed up by world-class Winter quality and worldwide engineering support and process development capabilites. Please contact us for application details.
