About Carbide Saw Blades

Cemented carbide saw blade is the most commonly used cutting tool in wood products processing. The quality of cemented carbide saw blade is closely related to the quality of processed products. Proper and reasonable selection of cemented carbide saw blade is of great significance to improve product quality, shorten processing cycle and reduce processing cost. The carbide saw blade contains many parameters, such as the type of alloy cutter head, material of matrix, diameter, number of teeth, thickness, tooth shape, Angle and aperture, which determine the machining capacity and cutting performance of the saw blade. The saw blade should be selected correctly according to the type and thickness of the material, the speed and direction of the saw, the feeding speed and the width of the saw.

Cemented carbide commonly used types of tungsten cobalt (code YG), tungsten titanium (code YT). Tungsten-cobalt cemented carbides are widely used in wood processing industry because of their good impact resistance.

The commonly used model in lumber processing is YG8-YG15, the figure behind YG expresses the percentage of cobalt content, cobalt content increases, the alloy fights impact toughness and bends strength to rise somewhat, but hardness and wear resistance drop somewhat however, want to try to choose according to actual situation.
