Description

  The present invention relates to a band saw blade for metal cutting, and more particularly to a bimetal band saw composed of a body portion and a cutting blade portion.

  The conventional band saw blade is made of high-hardness high-speed tool steel or cemented carbide, and the body is made of spring steel. The bimetal is joined at the weld by electron beam welding or leather beam welding. Band saws are the mainstream. Recently, there has been an increase in the hardness of hard work materials and difficult-to-cut materials, and the tendency of high-speed cutting of general steel materials. Along with this, band saw blades with a hard coating coated on the cutting edge have also become widespread.

As a band saw blade coated with such a hard material, in Patent Document 1, a hard material is coated on the back portion of the band saw blade body and hardened, or a band width of 0.15 with a saw width W on the back side of the band saw blade body and the back of the body portion. A band saw blade coated with a hard material and cured is disclosed. In Patent Document 2, a hard cutting edge coated with a hard material is provided with a width of at least 0.2 mm from the bottom of the cutting edge when viewed from the side of the band saw blade body, and each hard cutting edge is discontinuously covered. A constructed band saw blade is disclosed.

The band saw blade coated with the hard material of Patent Document 1 has a hard coating continuously coated on the back of the band saw blade body and / or the back surface of the body part. When viewed from the side, the hard coating remains on the bottom of the blade from the rake face. However, the life form of the band saw blade has shifted from the bending due to the wear of the band saw blade to the breakage of the main body from the bottom of the blade. In both Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the hard coating remains on the bottom of the blade from the rake face when viewed from the bottom side of the band saw blade, the band saw blade is mounted on the band saw and the band saw blade is bent. When used while twisting, the bending and torsional stress concentrates and acts on the main body, especially the blade bottom, and if it is hard-covered between the cutting blade and the cutting blade, the blade bottom becomes harder than the uncoated product. The bending and torsional fatigue strength of the steel decreased, causing cracks from the blade bottom and causing early breakage.
Moreover, by continuously coating the hard coating on the back of the saw blade body and / or the back surface of the body blade with a hard coating, it was possible to increase the hardness of these parts and improve the wear resistance. However, when a hard coating is continuously coated on the back of the body of the band saw blade or the back of the body and / or the back of the body of the blade, although the wear of the blade edge is slight, the band saw blade is repeatedly bent as described above, Due to repeated fatigue during twisting, a crack was induced on the back part of the band saw blade body part and / or the back part of the body part, causing the body part to break. However, both Patent Documents 1 and 2 have no suggestion or disclosure for solving the problem.

The problem of the present invention is that when the band saw blade is mounted on the band saw machine and used while bending and twisting the band saw blade, the blade bottom is hardened by hard coating between the cutting blade and the cutting edge, and the bending portion is bent to the main body portion, particularly the blade bottom portion. It is an object of the present invention to provide a band saw blade in which torsional stress concentrates and acts to induce cracks from the blade bottom and prevent early breakage.
Another object of the present invention is that when a band saw blade is mounted on a band saw machine and used while the band saw blade is bent and twisted, the band saw blade body back portion and / or the trunk portion due to repeated fatigue when the band saw blade is repeatedly bent and twisted. The object is to provide a band saw blade that induces cracks on the back side surface and does not break early.

For this reason, the present invention is a bimetal band saw blade composed of a body portion and a cutting edge portion, wherein the blade bottom and the welded portion are separated from each other, and the cutting blade portion has an element periodic table group 3b element, groups 4a to 4a ~ In the bimetal band saw blade coated with a hard material composed of one or more of nitrides, carbides, carbonitrides, oxides, oxycarbides, oxynitrides, oxycarbonitrides of Group 6a elements, In order to reduce cracks from the bottom of the cutting edge, an uncovered portion that does not cover the hard material is provided at least 1 mm or more on the portion that becomes the bottom of the blade between the next cutting blade and the hard material is discontinuous. The body part opposite to the cutting edge part side of the body part is subjected to the same curing treatment as the cutting edge coated with the hard substance, but includes an untreated part and is discontinuously cured. By applying as a treatment, cracks from the bottom of the blade or the back of the trunk It solved the problem of the present invention described above by the band saw blade, characterized in that to prevent premature breakage.

In the present invention, in order to reduce cracks from the cutting blade bottom, a portion that becomes a blade bottom between the cutting blade and the next cutting blade is provided with an uncoated portion that does not cover the hard substance at least 1 mm or more , and a body portion. A band saw blade which is subjected to the same hardening treatment as the cutting blade coated with the hard substance on the back portion of the body portion opposite to the cutting blade portion side but including an untreated portion and subjected to a discontinuous hardening treatment. As a result, when the band saw blade is mounted on the band saw machine and used while bending and twisting the band saw blade, the blade bottom is hardened with a hard coating between the cutting blade and the cutting edge, and the bending, torsional stress is applied to the main body, especially the blade bottom. Concentrated and acted to induce cracks from the bottom of the blade and prevent early breakage. At the same time, while the back pressure is applied to the back of the body during cutting, the back surface is rubbed against wear, but the band saw blade is repeatedly bent and twisted to cause fatigue due to repeated fatigue. A band saw blade that can be attracted and prevented from breaking early is provided.
