Abrasive Cut-off Wheels for Ferrous Metals
When cutting ferrous metals, choosing the correct cut-off wheel is crucial for achieving high-quality results. The Aka-Cut series is designed to meet the specific needs of various hardness ranges in ferrous materials, ensuring precise cuts, minimal deformation, and extended wheel life. Each wheel is optimised for its respective material hardness, making them ideal for a range of industrial and metallographic applications.
Optimised Wheels for Hard and Medium-Hard Steels
For harder and medium-hard ferrous metals, where precision and durability are paramount, the Aka-Cut Fe60 and Aka-Cut Fe50 are the ideal choices. These wheels are built to handle the high demands of cutting harder steels, providing clean cuts with minimal thermal damage.
- Aka-Cut Fe60 is engineered for the toughest cutting tasks, optimised for ferrous metals and steels with a hardness of approximately 60 HRC or 500-1000 HV. Its high Al2O3 content ensures sharp, efficient cutting, making it perfect for hard steels such as tool steels and high-strength alloys. The robust construction minimises mechanical deformation and thermal damage, ensuring a plane sample surface with minimal post-cut processing. Aka-Cut Fe60 is designed for applications where both precision and longevity are essential.
- Aka-Cut Fe50 is perfect for medium-hard steels with a hardness range of 50 HRC or 350-700 HV. It provides excellent cutting performance while maintaining long-lasting durability, making it ideal for sectioning of medium-hard ferrous materials. The combination of Al2O3 abrasive and a medium-hard binder allows for efficient cutting across a variety of metallographic and industrial applications. Aka-Cut Fe50 ensures minimal wear while delivering precise cuts.
Reinforced Wheels for Soft to Hard Steels
The Aka-Cut 350 HV, Aka-Cut 500 HV, and Aka-Cut 650 HV are reinforced with fibre webs to enhance durability and minimise the risk of breakage. These wheels are specifically designed to handle a range of ferrous metal hardnesses, offering precise and efficient cutting with reduced wear, even under challenging conditions.
- Aka-Cut 650 HV is designed for cutting harder steels with a hardness of approximately 650 HV. Its fibre web reinforcement provides exceptional durability, reducing the risk of breakage during high-stress cutting tasks. The high-performance Al2O3 abrasive ensures precise cuts with minimal mechanical deformation, making this wheel perfect for cutting hardened steels in both industrial and laboratory settings. Its reinforced structure enhances stability, ensuring smooth, vibration-free sectioning.
- Aka-Cut 500 HV is the ideal solution for cutting ferrous metals with a hardness range of 250-500 HV. Reinforced with fibre web on both sides, it withstands the internal stresses often encountered in surface hardened workpieces, reducing the risk of wheel breakage. Aka-Cut 500 HV delivers efficient, sharp cuts with minimal thermal damage, making it a reliable choice for both metallographic and production environments.
- Aka-Cut 350 HV is optimised for softer ferrous metals, with a hardness of approximately 350 HV. Like the other wheels in this series, it is reinforced with a fibre web to enhance durability and prevent breakage. Aka-Cut 350 HV delivers smooth, precise cuts with minimal deformation or thermal damage, making it ideal for softer steel types in routine industrial sectioning or laboratory analysis.
