HIGH SPEED STEEL (HSS)

General use conventional cut-off blade for ferrous and non -ferrous metals, also suitable for specific plastics. For the best performance from HSS blades use a high quality coolant.

FEATURES:
• Size Range:
  • Diameter: 100mm to 500mm (4 to 20 inches)
  • Thickness: 1mm to 4mm (0.04 to 0.16 inches)
  • Available with standard pin hole arrangements or unislots
• Blade Materials:
  • Standard material is M2 Super High Speed Steel
  • Special saws are manufactured from M35 Cobalt Steel for cutting high alloy steels.
• Surface Treatments:
  • Standard Finish is steam treated oxide
  • Reduces friction and metal adhesion
  • Resistance to wear
• Specialist Coatings
  • Widely used for low frictional properties enable faster cutting speeds:
    • Titanium Nitride (TiN) recommended for mild steel, medium hard steel, hard steel and stainless steels (Gold Colour)
    • Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN) recommended for stainless steel, Ni based alloys, refractory stainless, titanium and cast iron. (Bronze Colour)
  • Also available although used to a lesser extent are:
    • Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) recommended for mould steel and hard steel 140kg/mm² (Violet Colour)
    • Hard Chrome recommended for stainless steel, refractory stainless, brass, copper, aluminium and Al alloys. (Silver Grey Colour)
