Fernox
Due to a sophisticated PVD coating for wear protection which achieves a very low friction coefficient, the Fernox saw blade is a cost-efficient solution for cutting structural and non-alloy tool steel thin-walled tubes.
When cutting tubes and profiles on manual and semi-automatic circular sawing machine, the Kinkelder HSS Fernox circular saw blade allows a higher cutting speed than a steam treated saw blade. It can even be used for cutting thin-walled tubes on automatic machines.
The Fernox circular saw blade is also very suitable for cutting stainless steel tubes and profiles.
Advantages compared to steam treated:
- Increased blade life
- Reduced downtime & tool changes
- Lower cost per cut & production costs
- Little to no side pick-up
- Higher production output
- Ideal for cutting both structural- and stainless steel
Areas of application
Fernox is ideal for sawing the following;
Typical application example:
| Material | Dimensions (mm) |
Material specification |
Cutting speed (m/min) |
Cutting time (s) |
Output (Pcs/hr) |
Blade life (cuts) |
Blade life (m2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tube | 40 x 4 | S235 | 70 | 3,96 | 561 | 5,000 | 2,2 |
Stainless steel applications
| Material | Suggested cutting speed |
Blade life (indication) |
|---|---|---|
| Austenitic stainless steel (300 series) | 30 – 50 m/min | ≈ 1 m2 |
| Ferritic w/o Ti (409 & 412) | 220 – 260 m/min | < 2 m2 |
| Ferritic with Ti (441) | 60 – 120 m/min |
