Spring Steel Belt For Saw Blades
Carbide blades are a great solution for materials that bi-metal and carbon steel saw blades can’t cut. This type of blade has a flexible spring steel backing with carbide teeth pockets milled into it.
Special quenched and tempered spring steel belt can be produced in various widths to meet your specific application needs. This material has uniform hardness and flatness, which facilitates precision blanking and rationalizes further processing.
Application-optimized grades
Spring steel is used in a variety of applications thanks to its strength and flexibility. It is particularly suitable for manufacturers that produce products that undergo repeated stress, shocks, and impacts.
The material is made from a mixture of elements including silicon, which makes it able to stretch and bend without permanent damage. It also has good elastic properties, which allow it to return to its original shape after deformation or compression. These qualities make spring steel an ideal raw material for saw blades and other components.
To improve the steel’s elasticity, it is often hardened and tempered. This involves reheating the material to a lower temperature, which reduces its extreme hardness and increases its ductility and toughness. The tempered steel can then be further processed to achieve the required physical characteristics for the application in question. Slitting, edging, and leveling are all possible techniques.
The C80 grade of hardened and tempered spring steel is suitable for a variety of applications, including flat springs for automobile clutches, Masonry and agricultural tools, gang saws for marble cutting, doctor blades for paper industries, and drop pins for textile industries. Its high hardness and tensile strength make it a superior alternative to stainless steel in the manufacturing of cutting tools. It is available in a wide range of sizes and can be supplied with various options for the edges, such as being slit, rounded, or dressed.
Extreme flatness
While we wish it could be true that all steel is naturally flat, that’s not always the case. When you cut steel, whether it’s by saw, plasma, laser, waterjet, oxyfuel or another process, stresses get caught inside the Special quenched and tempered spring steel belt for saw blades metal and can cause it to be less than flat than the plate from which it was originally cut. This problem is often solved by performing an additional flattening procedure on the product in order to reach the tolerances you require.
In the case of special quenched and tempered spring steel belt for saw blades, it is essential that the product is extremely flat to ensure optimal performance. A flatness that is too high can cause the teeth on your saw to stick out, while a level too low can cause them to rub together and cause premature failure. WayKen’s commitment to strict GD&T standards allows us to consistently produce materials that are perfectly flat for our customers.
To achieve such a high level of flatness, our special steel is subjected to an on-line or off-line quenching+tempering heat treatment process. The advantage of this method is that it reduces the cost, increases the hardenability, improves efficiency and makes the final product much more resistant to bending or cracking. Typical applications for this type of steel include chain straps, belt buckles, springs, steel caps for safety shoes and saw blades.
Ground right-angled edge
Whether the saw blade is used for cutting marble or granite, precision is key. A perfectly cut surface is essential to avoid damage beyond the kerf, which could render the stone unusable or even unsafe for further processing. To achieve this, Baukus(r) steel strip for saw blades is ideally suited thanks to its excellent flatness and extremely high precision.
The heat treatment process for the special quenched and tempered spring steel belt also provides an added benefit: a ground right-angled edge, which improves the blade’s resistance to wear and tear while providing better control during the cutting process. The resulting smoother edge can support a higher feed pressure without bending and can increase the life of the blade.
When it comes to the smelting, hot rolling and quenching of this kind of special steel, there are a number of things that can go wrong. These include overheating the metal, heating it in an atmosphere that’s too high in oxygen or using a quench oil that’s not suitable for the specific alloy.
A well-trained operator is more likely to handle the material correctly and prevent these types of errors. In addition, he or she is more likely to run the machine at the correct parameters and perform routine Hardened & Tempered Steel Strip Supplier maintenance to ensure maximum performance and safety. All these steps help the user get the most out of their investment and protect against premature failures.
Extreme precision
With this grade, it is possible to produce saw blades with extremely low kerf widths. This reduces the wear on the teeth and the material removal to an absolute minimum. This makes it ideal for use on high-quality stone materials. The combination of high strength, high wear resistance and a very good toughness make the steel especially suitable for components that are subjected to high stresses. Examples include chain plates, belt buckles, springs, safety shoes and knives and scissors.
The process involves smelting the steel, hot rolling it to obtain a plate, quenching and tempering it. The heat treatment of the strip ensures that it has a very high hardness and a very good toughness. This guarantees maximum precision in the sawing process.
Bi-metal blades are used for a wide range of cutting applications, such as metal sizing, woodworking and carpentry. These blades have a flexible spring steel backing that allows the blade to bend and flex during cutting. They also have a sharp, durable cutting edge made from high speed steel. This gives them a longer life and better cutting performance than standard carbon steel blades.
This type of blade cuts wood, plastic, mild steels, cast iron and brass. It also helps to eliminate chipping in brittle materials such as laminates and chipboard. This is a result of the fact that it creates a narrower kerf and uses less power than standard carbon steel blades.
