Stainless Steel
Precision cutting of stainless steel tubes stationary
Cutting tubes made from stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy known for its durability, is challenging due to their high hardness and thermal resistance. The material also hardens during cutting, making it tougher as the blade progresses, while its low thermal conductivity leads to hot spots and potential blade damage. Additionally, stainless steel forms tough chips that require efficient removal to maintain cutting performance. To ensure clean and precise cuts, specialized saw blades, proper cooling, controlled speeds, and stable clamping are essential.
COMMON APPLICATIONS FOR STAINLESS STEEL TUBES
Stainless steel tubes are widely used in industries where corrosion resistance, hygiene, and long-term durability are essential for the end product's quality and functionality. These include the food and beverage industry, automotive, construction, chemical processing, medical sector, and marine environments. Typical applications include heat exchangers, sanitary piping, exhaust systems, handrails, medical instruments, structural tubing, and components exposed to moisture, chemicals, or high temperatures.
