Steel Grade

WHY A 1st CLASS BLADE

METALLURGICAL STRUCTURE & CARBIDE DISPERSION

Uniform & slow blade wear depend on:

  • Pure chemical composition
  • Small size of carbides
  • High density (no porosity)
  • Lack of non metallic inclusions
  • Fine carbide dispersion through steel section
  • Undifferentiated metallurgical structure

STRAIGHTNESS

Strict straightness tolerance:

  • perfect parallelism blade-cylinder
  • low working pressure
  • uniform blade wear all through its length
  • long blade lasting
  • TOP quality carbon Swedish steel
  • SELECTED refined chemical composition
  • HIGH CONSISTENCY carbide dispersion
  • STRICTEST tolerances
