Fine-grained ceramics are ideal for cutting tools. Using ceramic materials substantially increase blade life and precision due to their inherent strength and wear resistance. Precision machining is available to deliver complete parts – or we can supply blanks for your machining.
Applications:
Capsule cutters (Pharmaceutical)
Exacto-style blades and cutters
Large ceramic trimmer blades
Medical device blades
Receipt cutters for registers and point-of-sale use
Knife sharpeners
BENEFITS
Ceramic blades have excellent wear and corrosion resistance allowing them to hold their edge for dramatically a increased lifetime. For example our Norzide® zirconia lasts 20% longer than tungsten carbide. Other benefits include:
Up to 100x lifetime compared to standard steel
Electrically resistant with ESD options
Corrosion resistant
High strength
BLADES
Our blades can be constructed from any of our material compositions. The CeraShear™ family is engineered specially for blades. Their benefits include:
Greater mechanical strength than tungsten carbide
Absence of metal phase for improving corrosion wear
Fine-grain structures allows for finishes <1μm
SHARPENERS
In addition to ceramic blades, CoorsTek offers ceramic sharpening blocks. Each ceramic is extremely hard, and can be used to sharpen any blade, allowing for precise honing and excellent finishes.
