In order for a machinery worker to determine what band saw blade suites the
cutting process of the machine, one must first identify what materials they
will be cutting. Most blades are bi-metal and this means that they are composed
of two separate metals joined together.
Bi-metallic blades are
made up of layers of different metals. These blades can endure the punishment
of cutting different shapes and bundles, but they have the strength or
durability to allow non-stop use on tough materials and heavy walled tubes. It
also works with random cutting of high-alloy steels.
For the teeth of the band saw blades, it is composed with
high density steel bonded by various methods with high-powered carbon steel
base. With the composition of these materials, the blades become better in
terms of cutting speed and durability than shown by non-bimetal blades in
certain applications.
Recent advancements in developing band saw blades, the
production is replaced with electron beam welding with diffusion process that
results improved resistance to tooth stripping and also enables the blades to
withstand temperatures up to 1,100 degrees F during work applications. These
blades can now cut materials with 40/45 HRC.
Coatings like titanium nitride is now present on other types
of blades which often improves surface properties and are more suitable in
custom applications whether the blade is conventional bi-metal nor
carbide-tipped blades. Heat treatments are also applied in bi-metals which
provides the blade the right amount of rigidity and strength. For cutting high
volumes of alloy steel and nickel, you might want to consider buying a
carbide-tipped blade or tungsten carbide.
Cutting materials like requires the right kind of blade to
be effective. Consider factors of heat that is created through friction that
causes the blade to dull. Carbide tipped blades are better because it works
better to heat and can hold their edges longer than other bi-metal blades
available in the market.
