What is stainless steel? What's the difficulties for cutting stainless steels? How to cut stainless steels? With Goodklife's patent raw material G1, it is highly used for cutting high tensile strength steels, especially for stainless steels.
Description
Stainless acid-resistant steel is referred to as stainless steel. It is composed of two parts: stainless steel and acid-resistant steel. In short, steel that can resist atmospheric corrosion is called stainless steel. Generally speaking, steel with chromium content of more than 12% Cr has the characteristics of stainless steel.
Matrix tissue classification
1. Ferritic stainless steel. Containing 12% to 30% chromium. Its corrosion resistance, toughness and weldability increase with the increase of chromium content, and its resistance to chloride stress corrosion is better than other types of stainless steel.
2. Austenitic stainless steel. Containing more than 18% chromium, it also contains about 8% nickel and a small amount of molybdenum, titanium, nitrogen and other elements. Good overall performance, resistant to corrosion by various media.
3. Austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless steel. It has the advantages of austenitic and ferritic stainless steel, and has superplasticity. Chromium (18-26%) nickel (4-7%), molybdenum (0-4%), copper and iron (2205, 2304 are common duplex alloys)
4. Martensitic stainless steel. High strength, but poor plasticity and weldability. Carbon (0.2-1.0%), chromium (10.5-18%) and iron (410 and 420 are common martensitic alloys)
Difficulties for cutting stainless steels:
1. High cutting force and high cutting temperature
This type of material has high strength, large tangential stress and large plastic deformation during cutting, so the cutting force is large. In addition, the material has extremely poor thermal conductivity, which causes the cutting temperature to rise, and the high temperature tends to be concentrated in the narrow and long area near the cutting edge of the tool, thereby accelerating the wear of the tool.
2. Severe work hardening
Austenitic stainless steel and some high-temperature alloy stainless steels are all austenitic structures, which have a high tendency of work hardening during cutting, which is usually several times that of ordinary carbon steel. The tool is cut in the work hardened area, which shortens the tool life.
3. Easy to stick on the knife
Both austenitic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel have the characteristics of strong chip toughness and high cutting temperature during processing. When the tough chips flow through the rake face, sticking phenomena such as bonding and welding will occur, which will affect the surface roughness of the processed parts.
Goodklife has an independent research and development center, various experiments and testing equipment, and has developed G1, G2, G3 series alloy tool steels, which have high strength, high hardness, high toughness, high wear resistance, and high red hardness. It is suitable for making hot scissors and cold scissors at the same time, and can be used for multiple grinding. The service life is generally 2-3 times that of ordinary materials. Among them, G1 is particularly suitable for cutting high temperature materials and high tensile strength steel, especially stainless steel.

Processed material: Hot rolled carbon steel, thickness from 1,5 mm to 10,0 mm, Maximum tensile strength=1000N/mm²

Slitting refers to the use of disc shears to cut wide strips into narrow strips or trim edges. A complete slitting line consists of decoiler, slitter and winder. The decoiler, slitter and winder are driven by separate motors. According to the drive mode of the uncoiler, slitter and winder, different modes of driving the material through the slitter can be distinguished. Which mode to choose depends on the material, the thickness of the sheet and the number of slits.
In this mode, the driven coiler pulls the material from the uncoiler through the slitter. When the uncoiler and slitter are only driven to feed the material into the winder, it is called pull-through slitting. In driving slitting, the slitting machine is also driven during processing. The motors must now be synchronized to maintain a constant speed as the material passes through the production line. The advantage of driven slitting is that it can slit thin plates and improve the edge quality of all thicknesses.
2. Free loop slitting mode
In the free loop slitting, the material is allowed to form a free ring between the slitter and the coiler. Now it is necessary to install a tensioning device in front of the coiler to produce a well-wound coil. This method can handle poorly shaped coils.
