Hydraulic Metal Shear Blades & Plate Shear Blades | Material Selection & Maintenance Guide

1. Why Premium Shear Blades Improve Your Production

• Faster production runs: Precision blade finishing ensures clean one-pass cuts and eliminates extra rework and polishing

• Less material waste: Sharp, stable cutting edges minimize burrs and scrapped metal plates

• Longer machine lifespan: Well-fitted blades reduce continuous hydraulic pressure and mechanical vibration

• Fewer shutdowns: Durable blade construction cuts down frequent replacements and maintenance work

2. Our Blade Manufacturing Standards

• Vacuum Heat Treatment: Removes surface oxidation and defects. Evens out internal steel structure to make blades harder, tougher and resistant to bending under high-pressure cutting conditions.

• Precision CNC Grinding: Creates flat blade surfaces and sharp vertical edges. Keeps consistent cutting clearance for smooth, stable plate cutting without offset or shaking.

• Hardness & Toughness Balancing: Each blade is tested individually. We avoid overly brittle edges that chip or soft edges that wear quickly in continuous production.

3. Shear Blade Material Selection Guide

3.1 H13 (4Cr5MoSiV1) — For Hot Cutting & Thick Steel Plates

• Chemical Composition: C (0.32-0.45%), Si (0.80-1.20%), Cr (4.75-5.50%), Mo (1.10-1.75%), V (0.80-1.20%)

• Core Properties: Excellent high-temperature stability, strong impact resistance and thermal fatigue resistance. Stays stable under repeated heat and heavy loads.

• Application Scenarios: Ideal plate shear blades for thick steel, high-strength steel and hot-rolled plates. Widely used on large hydraulic shears for heavy-duty continuous production.

3.2 Cr12MoV / SKD11 — Anti-Sticking Blade for Stainless Steel & Alloy Plates

• Chemical Composition: C (1.45-1.70%), Cr (11.5-13.0%), Mo (0.4-0.6%), V (0.15-0.30%)

• Core Properties: Great wear resistance, minimal heat treatment deformation and balanced toughness. Offers reliable long-term stability.

• Application Scenarios: Perfect for carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum plates. Effectively stops material sticking and produces clean, burr-free cuts for daily industrial shearing.

3.3 LD (7Cr7Mo2V2Si) — Heavy-Duty Blade for Thick & Hard Metals

• Chemical Composition: C (0.65-0.75%), Si (0.8-1.2%), Cr (6.5-7.5%), Mo (1.8-2.2%), V (1.8-2.2%)

• Core Properties: High structural strength and strong chipping resistance. Fixes the brittleness issue common with high-hardness blades.

• Application Scenarios: Heavy-duty plate shear blades built for ultra-thick and high-hardness metal. Suitable for large hydraulic shears under high-intensity working conditions.

3.4 9CrSi — Cost-Effective Blade for Light & Medium Cutting

• Chemical Composition: C (0.85-0.95%), Si (1.0-1.3%), Cr (1.2-1.5%)

• Core Properties: Good surface hardness and steady wear resistance with balanced toughness. Affordable and dependable for regular use.

• Application Scenarios: Budget-friendly blades for thin carbon steel sheets and low-hardness metal plates. Best suited for light to medium daily production tasks.

3.5 6CrW2Si — Heat-Resistant Blade for Hot Shearing Work

• Chemical Composition: C (0.55-0.65%), Si (0.8-1.1%), Cr (1.2-1.5%), W (2.0-2.5%)

• Core Properties: As a classic shock-resistant tool steel for industrial cutters and dies, 6CrW2Si features extremely high toughness and outstanding structural stability. It effectively withstands intense impact, continuous vibration and strong shear force during long-term operation, resisting blade chipping and cracking under high-load working conditions. It also retains excellent red hardness, with no softening or deformation in high-temperature environments.

  Application Scenarios: Widely used in industrial blade and die manufacturing for high-impact and high-vibration working conditions. Perfect for shearing medium and thick steel plates, high-hardness metal wires and cold-rolled sheets. It performs exceptionally well in heavy shear scenarios that require strong impact resistance and anti-chipping capability, delivering stable cutting performance for long-term high-intensity production.

3.6 D2 — Wear-Resistant Blade for Medium-Hard Materials

• Chemical Composition: C (1.40-1.60%), Cr (11.0-13.0%), Mo (0.70-1.00%)

• Core Properties: Excellent wear resistance, strong anti-deformation ability and good chipping resistance. Performs consistently during long continuous runs.

• Application Scenarios: Ideal for medium-hard metal cutting in medium and heavy-load production. Reduces blade replacement frequency and overall downtime.

4. Practical Operation & Maintenance Tips

• Cutting Gap Setting: Set blade gap at 7%-10% of the workpiece thickness. Proper gap prevents burrs and avoids excessive blade friction.

• Regular Bolt Checks: Vibration during long operation loosens blade bolts. Regular tightening avoids cutting offset and abnormal blade wear.

• Material Matching Rule: Use wear-resistant blades for sticky metals like aluminum and stainless steel. Choose high-toughness blades for thick plates to prevent chipping and early failure.
