Bi-Metal blades combine the advantages of a high speed cutting edge and the features of a highly fatigue resistant steel in the body of the blade. This contributes to longer blade life, faster and more uniform cutting rates.
Axelberg world-renowned heat treating experience gives an excellent background to the development of this type of blade.
High speed steel has been used for a long time in the cutting tool industry and it contains tungsten, molybdenum, chrome, cobalt and vanadium. These alloys form, together with the carbon, hard and wear resistant carbides.
The use of high speed steel in band saw blades made it possible to considerably increase production when cutting hard materials.
