Mechanical Properties
-
Tensile Strength:
- Designed to cut stainless steel pipe and tube sizes with tensile strengths up to 620 MPa (e.g., 316L pipes for marine environments). The cutter’s dual-gear mechanism minimizes blade wear even under high stress.
- Compatible with super austenitic grades like 904L (common in sulfuric acid pipelines), ensuring no micro-cracks during cutting.
-
Bending Strength:
- Maintains precision on pipes with wall thicknesses up to 12mm, tested via 3-point bending cycles (ASTM E290 compliance).
Identification & Marking
- Laser Etching: Each cutter is marked with batch number, ASTM certification, and maximum cutting capacity for traceability.
- Color-Coded Blades: Red for stainless steel, blue for PVC, and black for carbon steel to prevent cross-contamination.

Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?
Though stainless steel resists corrosion due to its chromium oxide layer (≥10.5% Cr), rust can occur under extreme conditions:
- Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or bleach degrades the passive layer, causing pitting (common in 304 without Mo).
- Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with carbon steel in humid environments accelerates oxidation. Use dielectric stainless steel pipe to tube fitting to isolate materials.
- High-Temperature Oxidation: Prolonged exposure above 870°C depletes chromium, leading to scaling. Our cutter’s heat-resistant blades prevent thermal degradation during cutting.
Manufacturing Process
Step | Description |
---|---|
Cold Forging | Blades are forged at 800°C for enhanced hardness and crack resistance. |
Precision Grinding | CNC-ground cutting edges achieve ±0.05mm accuracy for seamless stainless steel pipe to tube fitting alignment. |
Salt Bath Quenching | Increases blade hardness to HRC 62 while maintaining flexibility. |
Quality Control | Eddy current testing and hydrostatic checks ensure defect-free performance. |
