Westcott Aluminium Alloy Safety Cutter Knife

Product Information

compared with cemented carbide tools, they have high cutting speed and can achieve high-speed and efficient cutting;

The two prominent features of aluminum are its lightweight and corrosion resistance. Additionally, it has the following characteristics: high hardness, especially suitable for machining quenched and hardened steel with an HRC of 50 or more, heat-resistant alloys with an HRC of 35 or more, and gray cast iron with an HRC of 30 or less that are difficult to machine with other tools; Due to their high cost, natural diamond tools are less commonly used in actual production. Artificial diamonds are formed by the transformation of graphite under high temperature and pressure through the action of alloy catalysts. Hardness is a fundamental characteristic that cutting tool materials should possess. To cut chips from a workpiece, the tool’s hardness must be greater than that of the workpiece material. The cutting edge hardness of tools used to cut metals is generally above 60HRC. Wear resistance refers to a material’s ability to resist wear.Its hardness is about 9000HV, bending strength is 0.21~0.48GPa, thermal conductivity is 20.9J/cm·sµ℃, and coefficient of thermal expansion is 3.1×10-6/℃. A higher thermal conductivity coefficient makes it easier for heat to dissipate, reducing the temperature gradient on the tool surface.

The manufacturing process of HSS tools is simple, and they can be easily sharpened to a sharp cutting edge. Carbide is made by powder metallurgy from hard-to-melt metal carbides (such as WC, TiC, TaC, NbC, etc.) and metal binders (such as Co, Ni, etc.).

What range of aluminium do we supply?

One of the lightest metals in the world, aluminium strikes a balance between malleability and strength. With a superior strength-to-weight ratio than steel, aluminium’s balance makes it incredibly useful and versatile. The density of aluminum is 2.7g/cm³ (one-third that of iron and copper), with good ductility and electrical conductivity two-thirds that of copper wire, but with only one-third of the weight and a lower price. Lining up your materials for cutting is made easier with the Ten-High Upgraded Version CO2 thanks to a clever red light positioning system, and for safety, there's a suspension system that immediately shuts off the laser the moment the doors are opened. With a generous amount of space for your engravings, and a ventilation fan to keep the exhaust smoke moving, the Ten-High Upgraded Version CO2 has been comprehensively equipped. It's also compatible with CorelDRAW, and connection is easily achieved via the USB port. Aluminum has good ductility, second only to gold and silver. It can be made into aluminum foil thinner than 0.01mm at 100℃~150℃.
