What Materials Are Saw Blades Made Of?

1. High-Speed ​​Steel Saw Blades

High-Speed ​​Steel Saw Blades are the most common type of saw blade, generally suitable for cutting medium-to-low-hardness metals such as steel, copper, cast iron, and aluminum. Made from high-quality high-speed steel, these blades offer high hardness, excellent cutting performance, and a long lifespan.

2. Carbide Saw Blades

Carbide saw blades use carbide as the primary cutting material and are relatively hard. They are generally suitable for cutting harder materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, cast steel, and heat-resistant alloys. Carbide saw blades offer high efficiency and a long lifespan, but they are also more expensive.

3. Tungsten Carbide Saw Blades

Tungsten Carbide Saw Blades are made primarily of tungsten steel. They offer high hardness and excellent cutting performance, particularly when cutting high-strength and high-hardness alloys. However, due to the higher price of tungsten steel, their cost is also higher.

4. Fiber Cutting Blades

In addition to the three types of metal saw blades mentioned above, there is also a type of saw blade specifically designed for cutting composite materials such as fiber-reinforced plastics. These are fiber cutting blades. Currently, fiber cutting blades are generally made of diamond or CBN (cubic boron nitride) as the main material, which has good cutting effect and long service life.
