Solid
Steel Knives
Knives may be manufactured from a variety of solid steels, including high carbon/high chrome tool steels, stainless, high speed and carbon steels. They are normally heat treated, creating knives which combine extreme hardness with excellent resistance to abrasion. |
Alloy
Tipped
Knives
Tipped knives consist of an alloy cutting edge deposited on a resilient steel base. These knives are essentially shatterproof, making them particularly suited to applications where contamination of the processed material may occur. This greatly reduces the risk of severe machine damage. In addition, minor damage can normally be cost effectively repaired and re-machined, so extending the working life of the knife. Corrosive applications can also be tackled by the use of special corrosion resistant alloys, deposited on a stainless steel base. |
Composite
Knives
Composite knives consist of a wear resistant material set into a steel base carrier. These knives provide for an accurate cutting edge with a resiliant base at relatively low cost. Cutting edge materials available include hardened tool steels and tungsten carbide. |
