1.1% High Carbon Steel: Premium grade of carbon steel for maximum sharpness & lifetime.
1095 Carbon Steel: Standard grade of carbon steel used on many commodity razor blades.
1075 Low Carbon Steel: Low grade of carbon steel or ‘blue tempered spring steel’.
SPECIAL ALLOY: Ask about our proprietary alloy that provides added strength with maximum sharpness and blade life.
STAINLESS STEEL:
440 C Stainless Steel: Premium grade of steel for maximum sharpness, lifetime & corrosion resistance.
440 A Stainless Steel: Premium grade of steel for maximum sharpness, lifetime & corrosion resistance.
420 Stainless Steel: Standard grade of steel combining sharpness, lifetime, corrosion resistance & cost.
301 Stainless Steel: Austenitic stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and strength.
HIGH SPEED STEEL:
M2 / M42 / Powered Metals: These materials offer maximum toughness and strength in high impact applications where blades break before they wear out.
BI-METAL: The strength & durability of a High Speed Steel cutting edge combined with the low cost and ductility of a carbon steel base material.
TUNGSTEN CARBIDE: We have specialized grades of Ultra Fine and Sub Micron grain sizes that create pristine sharpness, high hardness and strength. With 2 RMS surface finishing and each blade inspected at 50X, we provide a PERFECT blade, which lasts up to 100’s of times longer than steel blades, and is unequaled in the blade industry. We offer resharpening services that further increasing the cost effectiveness to the customer.
ZIRCONIA CERAMICS: We use a unique grade of Zirconia ceramic. With similar properties to Tungsten Carbide, our ceramic material is even harder and more resistant to heat. This results in the longest lasting blade in some applications. We also offer resharpening services that further increasing the cost effectiveness to the customer.
COATINGS: TiN / TiALN / TiC / Ceramic / Teflon™
These are the most common coatings we offer for extended wear life on any blade. Ask us about these or describe your application and we will test and match the best coating that is best for you. We also offer coatings that provide lubricity and strength to further maximize the blade lifetime that translates into production savings for our customers. |
