Straight knives made of high quality materials
We, Herbertz GmbH and Co. KG, only process the best types of steel for our knives. These are always selected due to the tasks to be exercised later.
The correct material can be critical in your application case regarding service life and quality.
We will be pleased to advise you in the selection of the correct material for you purpose of use.
With the correct selection of material you optimise the service life of your straight knife.
You can see the most commonly used materials from our material overview and get an idea of the variety of different materials.
Tool steel
(z.B.: 1.2067 – 1.2235)
- tensile ductility
- average wear resistence
- appropriate for simple application
High Alloyed chrome
(z.B.: 1.2379 – 1.2436)
- high alloyed chrome steel (minimum 12% Chrome)
- good tensile strength
- high wear resistence
- can be used for multiple cutting purposes with high exigencies
High Speed Steel
(z.B.: 1.3333 – 1.3343 – 1.3355)
- high wear-resistence steel
- strong hardness
- high content of wolfram
- high cutting speed
- for cutting purpose which need edge retention
HSS-powder-metallurgical
(ASP CPM)
- high tensile strength
- good wear resistence
- provides for special cutting purpose better results as HSS
Stainless steel
(1.4034 – 1.4021)
- high content of chrome, rust resistant
- sufficient wearing resistance
- for cutting purpose where rust resistence is necessary (foodstuff)
Hard metal
- compacted material
- needs competent handling
- for cutting purpose of material with very high tensile strength and wear resistance
