Crush-Proof Structure
Vanadium carbide micro-structure provides 5x deformation resistance
Applications
Detailed Information
Straight (lama) blades are used in the film cutting line of thermoform and vacuum packaging machines. Manufactured from HSS M2 (DIN 1.3343 / AISI M2) high-speed steel.
Alloy Composition: 0.85% C, 6.15% W, 5.0% Mo, 4.15% Cr, 1.85% V — this composition achieves HRC 62-65 hardness through secondary hardening while offering thermal stability up to 600°C.
Advantages:
- Extraordinary resistance to crushing — 5x deformation resistance compared to Sheffield steel
- Red hardness: Maintains HRC 60+ even at 600°C
- Vanadium carbide micro-structure: MC carbides form a natural barrier against wear
Compatible Machines: Multivac, Tiromat, Opack, Betapak, GEA, Alcan, Ulma, Variovac.
