Good Afternoon All
I have designed and manufactured a cropping machine for cutting titanium fixings up to a Ø of 8mm (see attached PDF)
Unfortunately I am having difficulty in selecting a material that will last longer than a week for the blades (item 14) We are currently on the 4th iteration and using an M42 high speed steel hardened to 65-70 HRC. they last very well for a few days with no signs of wear or damage and then all of a sudden they chip.
I am hoping there is someone out there who could recommend a better material or at least a hardening process to make them last longer.
Many thanks
Andy
