I am not an expert in diamond sawing, so take that as a caveat. However, as far as I know diamond turning of iron-based materials is almost never done. For iron-based materials the abrasive of choice is CBN. The reason for this is, as I understand it, is because carbon is soluble in iron. In fact the whole marvellous thing that is ferrous metallurgy is just playing games with the various things that solutions of carbon dissolved in iron can do when you heat and cool them.
Diamond turning of aluminium and copper alloy parts has been standard for 50 years or more. You won't find many references to diamond-turning of iron alloys. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
