What materials are band saws made of?
The shape of a band saw is a ring with teeth on one edge.
They are widely used for wood and metal work.
They also cut ice cream meat, fish, mineral water, foam concrete, etc.
d. Band saw blades for wood are made of alloy flexible steel grade U10A.
For industrial machines, a tool is used, the material of which is high-carbon steel grades 9XF and 65XF with a web hardness HRC3 41-45.
Today, bimetallic band saws are widely used in woodworking, which were initially used in metalworking.
Their teeth are made of high–speed steel M2 (similar to P6M5) with a hardness index of 66-67 HRC, and the blade is made of elastic alloy steel D6A (analog 45HGNMFA) with HRC 44-46. According to European standards, band saws are made of medium carbon (0.5 ± 0.2% C) tool steel, both alloyed and without alloying additives.
The most famous brands: D6A (Ni, Cr, Mo, V, HRC 44-47); 50 Cr V4, HRC 43-45; 75 Cr, 43-45HRC; C75, 42-44HRC.
Carbon steel and bimetallic strips with an elastic base and teeth, the material of which is high-speed steel or a hard alloy, are used for cutting metals.
Saw belts made of tool steel with a high carbon content are used for work on alloyed and non-alloyed steels with a breaking strength of 80 kPa/mm2.
But bimetallic type saws with teeth made of high-speed steel M42 (11P2M10K8) are more common.
And their base is made of specially selected spring steel.
Band webs with carbide teeth are used for severe cutting conditions for cast iron, non-ferromagnetic alloys, rare earth metals and alloys Monel, Inconel, Hasteloy, etc.
