Hard alloy inserts are very versatile, especially in the cutting field, which is inseparable from inserts of this material. In industrial production, the use of hard alloy blades is very large, so many blade manufacturers produce blades of this material. Then, when the market supply exceeds demand, there will be a problem of blade storage. Here, we want to introduce to you that there are three environments to avoid during storage of carbide blades. So which three environments are they? Let's take a look together.
Avoid humid environments. Everyone knows that hard alloy blades have many advantages. It has high hardness, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, but it is a metal after all. If placed in a humid environment for a long time, the carbide blade will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, passivation may occur, and some other chemical reactions may occur, which affect the use of the blade. Therefore, from this perspective, we must avoid humid environments when storing alloy blades, and try to place the blades in a dry and ventilated place.
Avoid dust. In industrial production, a certain amount of dust is generated during the production process of hard alloy blades in particular. Therefore, pay attention to dustproof work when storing alloy blades. Under normal circumstances, everyone will only notice that the humid environment has a bad effect on the blade, and often ignore that dust will also affect the blade. In fact, professionals all know that when the carbide blades are stored, they must not only be moisture-proof, but also dust-proof, because dust will also affect the use of the blade.
Avoid stress. Hard alloy blades are very hard and can cut very hard steel, cast iron and other plates, which everyone knows. But this does not mean that it is pressure-resistant. After all, it is just a blade, and the alloy material of the knife body is very thin. If it is under high pressure for a long time, it is likely to cause the blade to deform and affect the use effect. During cutting operations, deformed carbide inserts are not only difficult to process high-quality products, but may also be worn or chipped.
