| Cr12MoV / SKD11 | 58–60 | Excellent wear resistance, minimal distortion, less material build-up | High-volume production on stainless steel, silicon steel, high-strength steel and sticky alloys |
| D2 (Cr12Mo1V1) | 58–62 | Versatile long-wear performance, resists minor chipping, holds tight tolerances | Medium to low hardness steel, alloy steel, aluminum, brass, plastic, rubber, fiberboard |
| H13 / H13K Hot Work Die Steel | 50–55 | Strong heat resistance, high impact toughness, crack resistant | Hot-rolled plates, thick stainless steel, scrap metal, heavy-duty shearing jobs |
| LD (7Cr7Mo2V2Si) | 58–62 | Fine grain structure, superior toughness and fatigue resistance | High-strength steel, thick hard plates, large hydraulic shears, heavy industrial CNC cutting |

Minimum order: 1 piece
Fast lead time for prototypes and mass production
Ordinary carbon steel (Q195, Q235) and thin cold-rolled sheets: 9CrSi or Cr12MoV
Medium to low hardness steel, aluminum, copper: SKD11 or D2 for extended wear life
Light-gauge stainless steel and medium-strength steel: SKD11 or D2
Thick stainless steel and hard high-strength plates: H13 or LD
Hot shearing and high-temperature working conditions: H13 / H13K
Sticky alloys such as 304 stainless and galvannealed steel: Cr12MoV, SKD11 or D2 to reduce material adhesion and burrs
Mild steel & thin plates: 5%–10% of material thickness
Alloy & high-carbon steel plates: 8%–12% of material thickness
Thin, sticky materials like stainless steel, aluminum and copper: Use a tighter gap to prevent sheet folding
Thick, high-strength materials: Use a slightly wider gap to lower machine load and stop blades from cracking
Do not cut material harder than your blade’s rated capacity
Keep blade gap set correctly – incorrect clearance is the top cause of edge chipping
Clean rust, scale and debris off metal sheets to ensure even cutting pressure
Match blade material to your plate thickness and steel grade. Overly hard blades chip easily, while softer blades dull quickly.

Check out our guillotine shear blades in action on hydraulic shearing machines. You can see clean, straight cuts right from our actual factory test.Our premium shear knives work perfectly even under strong clamping pressure. We make these blades from D2 and H13 tool steel, treated with professional vacuum heat treatment. The finished hardness stays at HRC 50-62, and every blade is machined to tight micron-level standards.All our hydraulic metal shearing blades feature true straight edges. They leave no burrs or uneven cuts on metal plates.If you need reliable replacement blades or custom-made knives based on your drawings, get in touch with ALAS. We offer direct factory prices for bulk orders.
