Do you know how to choose a saw blade when cutting metal?
Metals are divided into ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals;
There are three types of ferrous metals: iron, manganese, and chromium. All of these three substances are ferrous metals. Although stainless steel is silver, its important components are iron, chromium, and manganese, so it is an iron-based alloy and belongs to ferrous metals!
Non-ferrous metals, also known as non-ferrous metals, are all metals other than iron, manganese, and chromium. Aluminum, magnesium, copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, and 64 other metals are all non-ferrous metals.
Cutting ferrous metals or iron-based alloys is best done with high-speed steel saw blades or cold saw blades! The most commonly used is high-speed steel saw blade, because of its low cost and mature mechanical matching. For example, high-speed steel saw blades are commonly used for cutting iron or stainless steel, and the cutting effect is very good. Cold saw blades have a low market penetration rate because of the high cost of saw blades and several other factors such as machine matching requirements.
Alloy tooth metal circular saw blades are mainly used to cut non-ferrous metals. In addition, high-speed steel saw blades or tungsten steel saw blades can also be cut. The speed of the cutting machine is different depending on the saw blade used! Alloy circular saw blades have high speed, such as aluminum saw blades, so they are most efficient. High-speed steel saw blades have low speed and low efficiency, so alloy saw blades are most commonly used for cutting non-ferrous metals!
