Choosing industrial blades under 5 criteria
When choosing industrial blades for your needs, there are certain variables to consider in order to make the best decision. This article presents the factors to take into account to help you make the right choice.
How to choose industrial blades?
Here are 5 factors to consider when choosing industrial blades:
Adaptation to the application or service
Of course, the type of blade should be adapted to the final application. Although there are many sectors, a simple way to narrow it down is by determining the material to be cut. Is it a single material or a combination of several?
Dimensional tolerances
What do we mean when we talk about dimensional tolerances? We refer to the precise specifications of the blades in terms of length, width, and thickness. It is crucial that the blades meet the required tolerances to ensure a precise and consistent cut.
At Rectificados Mayer, we offer customized grinding services to maintain the appropriate tolerances over time.
Finishing or coating of industrial blades
Surface coatings are applied to industrial blades to enhance their performance and extend their lifespan.
Among others, some common coatings include titanium nitride (TiN) coating, diamond coating, and titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coating.
Each coating has specific advantages, such as greater wear resistance, reduced friction, and better corrosion protection. If you are unsure about the best coating for your blades, our team can help you determine the most suitable finish in each case.
Material of the blades
Before coating, the main material also needs to be determined. In the case of blades, the interior matters a lot. Typically, industrial blades are made of carbon steel, stainless steel, high-speed steel (HSS), and tungsten carbide.
A suggestion: Compare the properties of different materials and choose the most suitable one according to your industry’s specific needs.
Degree of automation
There is a big difference between blades that require manual handling and those that are part of the machine’s mechanism when performing the cut. Adapting to the tools is important, especially that it fits the needs.
In summary, it is very important to choose industrial blades considering these five factors mentioned in this article.
