STUDY OF FACTORS AFFECTING ON THE SAWABILITY OF THE ORNAMENTAL STONE
Abstract
Ornamental stone sawability is important in predicting the prime cost of production and planning of the stone quarries and factories. Ornamental stone sawability with two standard methods, wire and circular sawing, is dependent on many parameters including; the stone that be sawn and machine characteristics and saw operating characteristic. The investigation of these parameters and the determination of the optimum working conditions for sawing machines in the stone industry is significant for establishing the most suitable and economic usage of the sawing method in the future. Up to now, various attempts have been made to determine these parameters. In this review paper, the important research works on stone sawability are presented and the important factors including saw wear, energy consumption and production rate that require consideration in stone sawability are investigated. The main aim of this review is to achieve a better understanding of the influence of the mentioned factors on the ornamental stone sawability. Furthermore, this review introduces some of the main Iranian ornamental stones.
