What are your recommendations for disposing of scrapped alloy steel blades?

Scrapped alloy tool steel holds significant scrap recycling value . We recommend classifying and selling these materials to local specialized metal recycling companies. For long-term clients with large batches of retired tooling, ALAS can provide material sorting and recycling guidance upon request to help maximize your scrap recovery value.

How many total regrinding cycles can a single blade support before it must be fully scrapped?

The total lifespan depends heavily on the initial blade thickness and the effective depth of the hardened layer . Under standard operating conditions, standard shear blades typically support 3 to 8 regrinding cycles before reaching their minimum operational thickness.

Can ALAS resurface, regrind, and repair our used or worn blades?

Yes. We offer professional blade regrinding, stress-relief re-tempering , and edge repair services, depending on the blade's remaining usable thickness . Please note that blades with severe cracking, structural deformation, or those that have already been over-thinned beyond safe structural limits cannot be safely repaired .
