Shear Blades
If the cutting blades are straight the process is called shearing. Shear blades are used for cutting metal, can be wide sheet or plate or cropping bar or sections.
OEM
An Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM is a company that manufactures and sells products or parts of a product that their buyer, another company, sells to its own customers while putting the products under its own branding.
Non Ferrous
Non-ferrous metals, do not include iron
High Alloy Blades
High-alloy steels would be more than 10 wt% of alloying elements in steel groups [1, 5, 8, 9].
Granulators
A granulator is a machine used for breaking down products for recycling. Once the material is fed into the granulator, a series of cutting knives within the rotor is powered by an electric motor to break the material into smaller pieces.
Guillotine
Guillotine blades are longer machine blades which may be used to cut lighter sheet metal, paper, plastic or fabrics.
Heat Treatment
In general, heat treatment is the term for any process employed which changes the physical properties of a metal by either heating or cooling. When properly performed, heat treating can greatly influence mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, ductility, toughness, and wear resistance.
Hardening & Tempering
A treatment in which a part is subjected to two complete hardening operations, or first an annealing process followed by a hardening process. Tempering. Tempering is a low temperature heat treatment process normally performed after a hardening process in order to reach a desired hardness/toughness ratio.
HRC
The Rockwell C scale is usually abbreviated HRC (Hardness Rockwell C), while the Rockwell B scale is abbreviated HRB (Hardness Rockwell B). The higher the number, the harder the material, but only relative to other numbers within a given scale.
