Product Overview
M42 steel strip (W2Mo9Cr4VCo8) is a high-cobalt, high-toughness high-speed steel material, specifically designed for manufacturing high-performance bandsaw blades. Its outstanding hardness, wear resistance, and red hardness make it ideal for cutting high-strength metals et hard-to-machine materials. We specialize in providing stable, high-quality M42 steel strips to bandsaw blade manufacturers, helping improve cutting efficiency and extend tool life.
Product Advantages
- High Hardness and Red Hardness
- After heat treatment, the hardness reaches 67-70 HRC, ensuring bandsaw blades maintain excellent cutting performance even under high-speed, high-temperature conditions.
- Superior red hardness allows the blades to stay sharp in high-temperature cutting environments, preventing dulling from heat.
- Excellent Wear Resistance
- The high cobalt content (8%) et fine carbide particles in M42 steel strip provide exceptional wear resistance, reducing frequent wear and tear, and prolonging blade life, especially suited for cutting hard metals and heat-resistant alloys.
- Superior Toughness and Anti-Fracture Performance
- M42 steel strip has excellent impact toughness, reducing the risk of blade breakage or tooth chipping under high stress and complex cutting conditions, making it ideal for high-speed, intermittent, and varied cutting tasks.
- Processability and Consistency
- Our M42 steel strips are produced with advanced processes to ensure stable chemical composition et uniform hardness control within ±0.5%, ensuring consistent quality in the production of bandsaw blades.
- Easy to grind, meeting the high demands of tooth profile machining and precision grinding in bandsaw blade manufacturing.
Typical Applications
M42 steel strip is primarily used for producing high-performance bandsaw blades, which are widely applied in:
- Metal Cutting: Ideal for cutting high-strength steels, heat-resistant alloys, stainless steel, titanium alloys, and other materials, ensuring fast cuts and long-lasting sharpness.
- Industrial Sawing: Extensively used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and mold manufacturing, especially for bulk metal cutting.
- Complex Cutting Conditions: Suitable for varied cutting conditions, including intermittent and curved cutting, meeting special requirements.
