New generation saw blades for solid stainless steel cutting applications

material diameter, the optimal geometry and carbide grade are used for dedicated products. Solid carbon steels with a tensile strength up to 900N/mm 2 are cut with a more negative geometry and lower clearance than carbon steels with a tensile strength >900N/mm 2 . The carbide grade is different for both applications. Kinkelder has specifically developed the CX1-M saw blade for cutting solid carbon steel with a tensile strength up to 900N/mm 2 . TheCX1-Hsawblade is recommended for cutting steel with a tensile strength of 900N/mm 2 and higher, as well as large diameter ferritic-, martensitic- and duplex stainless steels. For large diameter austenitic steel (>35mm), the CX6-L saw blade is being introduced, incorporating a newly designed geometry. The carbide grade is suitable for cutting sticky materials.

IN order to help achieve high production rates and cut quality Kinkelder has further developed its TCT product range for solid cutting applications. The new generation of Kinkelder CX series saw blades makes use of the latest insights in design, materials and production technology, leading to optimal squareness and surface finish. In applications with poor chip evacua- tion, the chips often get intertwined and clog the sawing machine. By updating the saw body design, a significant in- crease of up to 50 per cent blade life has been achieved. The new design is being used in the CX 1, CX 6, CX 7 and Champion SL saw blades for tooth pitches higher than 12mm. Many years of extensive testing have proven that the large diversity of applications requires fine-tuning of tooth geometries and carbide grades. Depending on the steel grade and

The CX6-S blade is dedicated to high performance cutting of all stainless steels (ferritic, martensitic, duplex and austenitic) with diameters up to 35mm. A new generation PVD coating is applied to the CX1-M and CX1-H series for cutting solid carbon steels.
