Band saw blades are only as good as the material they are made from. To achieve sharpness, durability, and flexibility, manufacturers rely on hardened and tempered steel strips. With precise hardness control and excellent wear resistance, these steel strips ensure that blades perform efficiently, even in the most demanding cutting environments.
The Role of Hardened Steel Strips in Saw Blade Manufacturing
Band saw blades require steel that can be:
- Hard enough to stay sharp during continuous cutting
- Tough enough to resist breakage under tension
- Elastic enough to withstand repeated flexing around wheels
Hardened steel strips provide this balance through a controlled quenching and tempering process, giving blades the right combination of hardness and flexibility.
Key Properties of Hardened Steel Strips for Saw Blades
- Hardness Range: 30–55 HRC, ensuring cutting precision
- High Wear Resistance: Longer blade life in wood, metal, and food cutting
- Elasticity: Withstands continuous bending during sawing operations
- Surface Options: Blue, polished, or natural finish to suit blade requirements
- Custom Dimensions: Thickness 0.1–5.0 mm; Width up to 500 mm
Applications in Different Industries
- Wood Cutting – For timber processing, furniture making, and plywood cutting
- Metal Cutting – Slitting blades and industrial saws for steel and alloys
- Food Processing – Blades for cutting frozen meat, bread, and other products
By using hardened steel strips, manufacturers can ensure their band saw blades are sharp, durable, and efficient.
