Custom Metal Shear Blades: Precision Engineering & Material Guide

Not every shearing task is standard. If you work with special alloys, unusual plate thicknesses, or old machinery, off-the-shelf blades won’t work. Custom metal shear blades bridge the gap between your unique needs and high-performance cutting.
ALAS custom blades are made from top materials like 9CrSi, 6CrW2Si, Cr12MoV, H13, H13K, and LD. They have a rectangular cross-section and hardness of HRC50–62, delivering precise, burr-free cuts. We can customize them to your drawings or samples.

Why Custom Blades Boost Efficiency

Standard blades often fall short in industrial use. You need custom blades if you have:
  • Unique machine shapes

  • Special high-tensile alloys

  • High production volumes

At Alas Machinery, we don’t just sell parts—we create tailored solutions for your shearing challenges.

Precision Engineering: From Blueprint to Blade

We use your technical drawings or samples to make sure every custom blade is perfect. Our focus is on two key areas:

Perfect Fit

Our CNC machining ensures bolt holes, countersinks, and blade angles are accurate to the micron. This means a seamless, drop-in replacement—no modifications, no downtime.

Material Optimization

We pick the best material for your needs to cut costs and extend blade life. Below is a clear guide to our core materials, including their chemistry, performance, and uses.

ALAS Custom Blade Materials Overview

We use 7 main materials for custom blades. Each has unique chemistry, performance, and ideal uses:

  • Key Performance: High strength, excellent toughness, good wear resistance, strong chipping resistance, fine grain structure

  • Hardness: HRC 58–62 (after heat treatment)

  • Uses: High-strength steel, thick plate, stainless steel, hard-to-shear metals (large hydraulic/CNC shears)

7. Powder Metallurgy Steel (e.g., ASP23, ASP60)

  • Chemical Composition (ASP23): C 1.28%, Cr 4.20%, Mo 5.00%, V 3.10%, W 6.50%

  • Key Performance: Ultra-high hardness, extremely long life, uniform structure, stable performance

  • Hardness: HRC 62–65+ (after heat treatment)

  • Uses: High-end composite plate, wear-resistant steel, high-precision shearing (high wear/long life needs)

Quick Material Selection Guide

Pick the right material for your shearing task:
  • Ordinary carbon steel (Q195, Q235): 9CrSi, Cr12MoV (cost-effective)

  • Medium-low hardness steel/aluminum/copper: SKD11, D2 (wear-resistant, long life)

  • Light stainless steel/medium-strength steel: SKD11, D2 (balanced performance)

  • Thick stainless steel/high-strength alloy steel: H13, LD (tough, chip-resistant)

  • Hot shearing/high-temperature tasks: H13, H13K (heat-resistant, anti-fatigue)

  • High-precision/heavy-duty shearing: Powder metallurgy steel (ASP23/ASP60) (ultra-wear-resistant, long life)

Vacuum Heat Treatment: Longer Blade Life

Every custom blade gets full-body vacuum heat treatment. This process stabilizes the entire metal structure, preventing warping and internal cracks—critical for custom blades with complex shapes. It maximizes material performance for consistent, reliable cuts.

Factory-Direct, Maintenance-Free Blades

Alas Machinery is a dedicated manufacturing facility. Our custom blades fit perfectly and last longer than standard parts. This means less maintenance, less downtime, and more productivity for your facility.

Key Notes for Custom Blades

  • Hardness isn’t everything—balance hardness and toughness. Too hard = chipping; too soft = dulling. We help you choose the right one.

  • Heat treatment matters. High-quality materials need professional quenching (like our vacuum heat treatment) to work their best.

  • For sticky materials (stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, copper): Choose Cr12MoV or SKD11 to prevent sticking and chipping.

4 .Finishing ---- mainly processing materials.
5 .Inspection ---- Inspect whether the product is consistent with the drawing sample.
6.Quenching ---- Improve the hardness of molded products and materials.
7 .Annealing-In order to increase the wear resistance of the product, it must be annealed for a long time to prevent the blade from breaking
8 .Tempering-mainly the parallelism of the tempering products for processing.
9 .Rough grinding ---- rough grinding the surface of the product.
10.Precision grinding ---- Super-precision grinding and mirror grinding to improve the accuracy and parallelism of the product.
