Carbide Knives
Schonenberger tungsten carbide knives last longer!
Constantly increasing demands for improved productivity require extensive use
of the most wear-resistant materials available. Schonenberger tungsten carbide
is the ideal material for many applications due to its
high hardness, high compressive
strength, resistance to high temperatures, dramatic wear-resistance, and excellent
toughness.
These and many other useful properties are the results of the metallurgical
structure of this composite material. Cobalt binders for toughness and nickel
alloy binders for corrosion resistance are the matrix for the wear-resistant
grains of tungsten carbide and its alloys. By varying the binder content and
size of tungsten carbide grains, we can achieve a wide range of qualities for
different applications.
The benefits of tungsten carbide are many. Schonenberger tungsten carbide knives
will perform 10 to 25 times longer than standard knives. The quality and accuracy
of the products are greatly improved, thus reducing rejections and increasing
yields. With knife changes reduced, regrinding costs are slashed.
Schonenberger Megalife tungsten carbide is a new generation of carbide designed
especially for increased productivity.
Megalife carbide is a superfine micro-grain material which displays an even
higher wear resistance than our regular carbide. (See photo)
The advantages of Megalife carbide over regular carbide:
Lasts 3 to 4 times longer between regrinds
Improves cutting quality which reducing dust
Higher compressive strength of the micro grain structure leads to a reduced
tendency of cutting edges nicking
