Blade Qualities
Material options for industrial cutting solutions
Cutting Blades - Properties
Recommended combination for maximum cutting results: powder steel (ASP) for the upper blade, carbide for the lower blade.
Tool Steel (1.2067)
Material: 1.2067
Properties: Alloyed tool steel with very good toughness and moderate wear resistance.
Applications: Cost-effective choice for normal cutting tasks where good value for money is sufficient.
High Performance Tool Steel (HiChrome D2)
Material: 1.2201, 1.2601, 1.2379, 1.2080, 1.2436
Properties: High-alloy chromium steel that offers excellent wear resistance and good toughness.
Applications: Ideal for demanding cutting applications and tools where durability is a critical factor.
High-Speed Steel (HSS)
Material: 1.3333, 1.3343, 1.3355, 1.3318
Properties: Highly wear-resistant high-speed steel that maintains sufficient toughness thanks to its tungsten and molybdenum content.
Applications: Used in highly demanding cutting and drilling operations that require a combination of hardness and toughness.
Powder High-Speed Steel
Material: ASP2023, ASP2053, CPM 10V, K390 Microclean, Micro-Melt A11
Properties: Powder metallurgically produced high-speed steel that offers higher toughness and better wear resistance than traditional high-speed steel (HSS) thanks to its homogeneous structure.
Applications: Suitable for precision tools and applications requiring optimal wear resistance and toughness.
Stainless Steel
Material: 1.4112
Properties: Stainless and acid-resistant steel containing at least 17% Cr. Offers sufficient wear resistance and good toughness.
Applications: Used in environments where corrosion and acid resistance are essential, such as in the chemical and food industries.
Carbide
Properties: Extremely hard and wear-resistant material with lower toughness.
Applications: Suitable for particularly demanding cutting and drilling operations requiring maximum wear resistance.
Hardox – Withstands Impact and Wear
Hardox 450
Wear-resistant steel that combines hardness and machinability. Suitable for applications requiring a solution against hard wear.
Hardox 500
Adds durability and service life in applications requiring greater wear resistance.
Hardox 600
Designed for conditions requiring maximum wear resistance and long component service life.
