Can a single blade handle both titanium alloys and carbon fiber composites?

        In the manufacturing workshop of the wings of the Boeing 787 passenger aircraft, workers used to frequently change three different saw blades to cut titanium alloy fasteners, carbon fiber skins and aluminum alloy brackets. Nowadays, the multi-material compatible alloy saw blade launched by TORGWIN, with its unique gradient alloy base and adaptive tooth profile design, has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough of "one-blade through cutting". This technology has helped the Airbus A350 supplier reduce the tool changing time from 2 hours a day to 15 minutes.

The technological leap from "specialized materials for specific purposes" to "one blade with multiple capabilities"

        The traditional design of saw blades follows the "material matching principle" : wooden saw blades use high-speed steel bases, aluminum alloy saw blades are equipped with hard alloy tooth tips, and the cutting of composite materials relies on diamond coatings. The problem that the TORGWIN R&D team spent three years solving lies in how to make the same saw blade meet the following requirements simultaneously "The high hardness of 800HV required for titanium alloy cutting", "The anti-adhesion property required for carbon fiber cutting" and "The smooth chip removal necessary for aluminum alloy cutting".

        We redesigned the distribution gradient of the alloying elements. The micrograph presented by the chief engineer shows that the base of the saw blade presents a three-layer structure of "high-speed steel - cobalt-based alloy - nanocrystalline coating" from the center to the edge, "just like installing an 'intelligent skin' on the saw blade, which automatically adjusts the friction coefficient when encountering different materials."

TORGWIN's product matrix

        Alloy Saw Blade For Cutting Wood: With a precise arrangement of 48 teeth and a sound-absorbing groove design, in the actual test at a furniture factory in Germany, the burr height when cutting oak was reduced from 0.3mm to 0.05mm, and the noise decibel was decreased by 12dB.

        Alloy Saw Blade For Cutting Aluminum: Equipped with negative rake Angle tooth profile and high-pressure cooling holes, in the battery tray production line of BYD new energy vehicles, it achieves continuous cutting for 2000 meters without built-up edge, and the surface roughness Ra value is stable within 0.8μm.

A Dual Revolution in Efficiency and Cost

        In the past, cutting aviation structural components required preparing three sets of tools. Now, a TORGWIN saw blade can handle it. The production director of an aviation parts factory in Shenyang has done a detailed calculation: Although the unit price of multi-material saw blades is 40% higher than that of ordinary products, the overall cost of tool replacement, downtime losses and scrap rate have decreased, saving more than 2 million yuan annually. What surprised him even more was that the saw blade reduced the amount of dust produced when cutting carbon fibers by 65%, significantly improving the air quality in the workshop.

The Invisible "Material Dialogue" Mechanism

        At the recently held International Metalworking Exhibition, TORGWIN disclosed for the first time the "material identification" principle of saw blades: when the tooth tip comes into contact with titanium alloy, the cobalt-based alloy layer will undergo micro-zone phase transformation due to frictional heat generation, forming an instantaneously hardened layer with a hardness of up to 1200HV. When cutting carbon fibers, the graphene sheets in the nanocrystalline coating will be oriented and arranged, reducing the friction coefficient from 0.3 to 0.12. This is like a saw blade that can 'sense' the material and automatically switch working modes. The person in charge of research and development made an analogy.

Full Life Cycle Management of saw blades

        Facing the carbon neutrality goal, TORGWIN has launched the "Make the best Use of Every Blade" plan. By embedding RFID chips in the saw blade base and combining AI algorithms to predict the remaining service life, a certain automotive parts customer successfully increased the saw blade utilization rate from 65% to 92%. In the recycling process, the patented alloy separation technology can achieve a recovery rate of 98% for rare metals such as cobalt and tungsten, and each used saw blade can be regenerated into 0.7 kilograms of raw materials for new energy batteries.

        A good saw blade should be like a Swiss Army knife - both professional and versatile. General Manager TORGWIN depicted the vision at the annual technology release conference: "We are developing self-healing coating technology. In the future, saw blades will be able to automatically replenish hard particles after wear, making 'lifetime no replacement' a reality."

        From breaking through the limits of material compatibility to redefining the form of cutting tools, TORGWIN is demonstrating through technological innovation that in the field of precision manufacturing, a single saw blade can also drive the upgrading of the entire industrial chain.
