Razor Slitting Blade Alloys offer a range of hardness and longevity to suit your specific application.
Advanced Tungsten-Carbide
Submicron-grain tungsten-carbide slitting blades last 10 times longer than the best HSS blades and ensure razor-sharp slitting for up to 20 million linear-feet (8 million linear-meters) of production.
The hot isostatic pressing (HIP) eliminates porosity and strengthens and stabilizes the blade surface for greater resistance to chipping and breaking.
A super-mirror finish (maximum surface roughness of .025 µm) prevents glue accumulation on the blades for cleaner, more precise slitting.
90.5-91.5 HRA (≈ 75 HRC)
1478-1710 Vickers
Corrugated board plants all over the world rely on our Tungsten-Carbide slitting blades for dependable, lasting cutting performance over the course of millions of linear-feet of production.
To ensure a razor-sharp cutting edge, we recommend pairing Tungsten-Carbide slitting blades with Diamond grinding wheels.
Super-Cobalt High-Speed Steel (HSS)
Super-Cobalt HSS slitting blades, manufactured from an alloy of carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium and vanadium, with an 8% cobalt content for increased hardness over M2 HSS.
Super-Cobalt blades resist dulling of the cutting edge at the extreme heat (up to 538º C) that accompanies increased cutting speeds.
To ensure a razor-sharp cutting edge, we recommend pairing Super-Cobalt HSS slitting blades with Cubic-Boron-Nitride grinding wheels.
64-68 HRC
789-942 Vickers
M2 High-Speed Steel (HSS)
The industry standard razor slitting blade, manufactured from an alloy of steel, tungsten and molybdenum that features sufficient wear resistance and hardness for a variety of applications.
Hardness:
61-63 HRC
720-763 Vickers
