HSS Fernox – The allround HSS Solution

Due to a sophisticated PVD coating for wear protection which achieves a very low friction coefficient, the Fernox saw blade is a cost efficient solution for cutting structural and non-alloy tool steel thin walled tubes.

When cutting tubes and profiles on manual and semi-automatic sawing machines, Fernox allows a higher cutting speed than a steam treated saw blade. It can even be used for cutting thin walled tubes on automatic machines.

Fernox is also very suitable for cutting stainless steel tubes and profiles.

Advantages compared to steam treated:

• Higher blade life
• Increased uptime
• Lower cost per cut
• Little to no side pick-up
• Higher production output
• Ideal for cutting both structural- and stainless steel

Applications:

• All structural steel and non-alloy steel thin walled tubes
• Tensile strength up to 600 N/mm²
• Steel – Suggested cutting speed: 60 – 120 m/min
• Austenitic stainless steel (300 series) – Suggested cutting speed: 30 – 50 m/min – Blade life:≈1m²
• Ferritic w/o Ti (409 & 412) – Suggested cutting speed: 220 – 260 m/min – blade life: ≈1m²
• Ferritic with Ti (441) – Suggested cutting speed: 60 – 120 m/min
• Feed: 0,03 – 0,09 mm/tooth
• Machines: manual, semi-automatic, automatic, flying cut-off applications

Single and Twin cut-off with inside scarf

The PVD coated carbide tipped ScarfMaster has especially been designed for flying cut-off applications dealing with heavy inside scarf.

It features a very specific tooth geometry, combined with highly shock resistant carbide tips.

Due to strong saw body shoulders which give the teeth maximum support, the combination tooth/body obtains very high stability and fracture resistance. Extended blade life is therefore achieved.

Advantages

• High line speed
• Increased uptime
• High blade life
• Cuts heavy ID scarf
• Cuts high tensile API Pipes (up to 110 KSI)
• Various tooth geometries available

Applications:

• Flying cut-off applications dealing with heavy ID Scarf
• Cutting speed: 400 – 500 m/min (choose max available).
• Tooth load 1/2/3: relation 1/1/1. Starting value 0.04 mm/tooth.
• ScarfMaster saw blades are available for flying cut-off machines, such as MTM, OTO mills, Nakata and Olimpia.

Note: Primary failure mode for this application is tooth and shoulder damage. raising cutting speed and reducing tooth load typically improves blade life. Blade life is highly depending on size, orientation and material grade of loose inside scarf. No guarantees can therefore be given for blade life. Blade life typically varies considerably, depending on operator/crew who influence scarf condition.

Orbital flying cut-off

TubeMaster saw blades have especially been designed for orbital flying cut-off applications on tube mills.

Key features of this saw blade are fractureresistant carbide tips, protected with a high-tech TiAlN-based PVD coating.

Combined with a light cutting geometry for smooth chip evacuation, a milled like surface finish is achieved. This geometry also reduces vibration when cutting thin walled tubes (<4mm), thereby achieving excellent blade life.

The new generation of TubeMaster products has a new body design, new carbide grade, new tip geometry and a special coating. This results in a higher blade life and more regular blade performance.

Advantages:

• High line speed
• High blade life
• Cuts high tensile API Pipes (up to 110 KSI, X80, HT)
• Burr-free cut

Applications:

• Orbital, flying cut-off applications
• TubeMaster saw blades are available for all types of orbital cutting machines, such as MTM, OTO mills, Elmaksan, Kusakabe, Linsinger, Nakata and SMS Meer.

Parameters:
Suggested cutting speed: 350 – 400 m/min. Feed 1/2: 0,04 / 0,12 mm/tooth.

Note: To accommodate higher requirements of line speed or reduce vibration level, much higher cutting speeds (up to 600 m/min) can be applied. Tooth load can be raised , while respecting max fill ratio of 10% during entry. Respect max cut depth of 3mm.
