A Method For Cutting And Preparing Thin-Sections Of Frozen Soil

Abstract A diamond wire saw was modified for cutting thin sections of frozen soil and suitable operating conditions were determined experimentally. It was found that a lubricated wire, 0.34 mm in diameter, operaied at cutting velocities of 100-300 mm s -1 and cutting forces 0.02-0.1 kg produced smoo...
