Surface Treatment of Saw Blades Offers Great Potential

The history of band saw production is long-standing, and although it's considered a mature industry, its production technology is continuously evolving. Users who rely on band saws for metal cutting tasks are seeking every method to ensure efficiency, in order to reduce workload and maintain work quality. Longer, straighter, and faster are the three standards that basically encapsulate the needs of production band saw users. Based on this, band saw manufacturers are actively researching and developing the next generation of band saw technology.

The technology originally developed for other cutting tool industries has been optimized and is now applied to the design and improvement of band saw products. To enhance the technical standards of band saws, it is crucial to strive for the reduction of unit cutting costs. The key lies in the novel cutting edges and backs of bimetallic saw blades, improved hard alloy saw tooth products, surface coatings (TiN and AlTiN), heat treatment techniques, and the new tooth profiles designed using advanced computer modeling technology.

How to integrate these technologies with our unique expertise to provide new products has become an urgent issue for the band saw blade manufacturer.

Saw Blade Surface Treatment Technology and Processes

Saw blade manufacturers are currently focused on enhancing specialized blade surface treatment technology. This technique significantly reduces blade fractures caused by metal fatigue. Various factors can lead to premature blade failure, including improper tension of the saw belt, poor condition or misadjustment of the guide plates, incorrect saw wheel track, and severe distortion of the blade between the saw wheel and guide plates. When this occurs, stress on the blade typically appears at the potential break points.
