Kunshan Meiyaxing Hardware Machinery Co., Ltd. is a service-oriented enterprise specializing in the sales and operation of CNC cutting tools. We provide tungsten carbide end mills, end mill inserts, turning inserts, grooving and parting inserts, drilling and boring inserts, multi-functional inserts, threading inserts, and other indexable inserts, along with matching tool holders and tool holders. We have established long-term and stable strategic partnerships with well-known professional manufacturers of high-efficiency tungsten carbide end mills. The company possesses advanced production equipment from Swiss Rollomatic, German Walter, and Japanese Makino Seiki, as well as equipment from German Zoller-Genius 3S and American PG. With 1000 and other testing equipment, relying on our service and operations, and guided by strong R&D and production capabilities, we solve various cutting tool problems for processing and manufacturing enterprises. We aim to become a professional partner offering comprehensive cutting tool solutions and cost optimization services, focusing on optimizing product processing costs to achieve mutual benefit and common development.
Let's first discuss the classification of CNC cutting tools: grooving and parting inserts, small parts inserts, positive angle inserts, negative angle inserts, milling inserts, CBN inserts, PCD inserts, cermet inserts, aluminum inserts, threading inserts, U-drill inserts, chamfering inserts, boring inserts, tube scraper inserts, and pulley inserts.
By Material Material Classification
The material of a knife directly affects its sharpness, durability, and maintenance:
Stainless Steel Knives: Containing elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, they offer good rust resistance and are easy to maintain, making them the mainstream choice in the market. Common markings include "5Cr15MoV" and "9Cr18MoV." Higher numbers generally indicate better hardness and corrosion resistance.
Carbon Steel Knives: High hardness, good sharpness, and easy to sharpen, but prone to rust. They require immediate drying and oiling after use and are favored by professional chefs.
Alloy Steel Knives: Made with stainless steel and special alloying elements (such as molybdenum and vanadium), balancing hardness, sharpness, and rust resistance, they are a high-end choice.
Ceramic Knives: Made from oxide... Made of zirconium, it has extremely high hardness, never rusts, and doesn't absorb odors, but it's very brittle and cannot be used for chopping, prying, or chipping hard objects. Classification by Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process determines the strength, weight, and price of a knife:
Forged Knives: Made by repeatedly hammering and folding steel, resulting in a dense, tough, and durable blade. They usually have a blade support and a shank, and are a hallmark of high-end knives.
Stamped Knives: Formed using molds, they have high production efficiency and low price, but the blade is thinner and lighter, requiring more pressure from the user.
Classification by Industry Sector
In industrial and professional fields, knife classification is more technical:
Metal Cutting Tools: Used for machining, including turning tools, milling cutters, drills, and reamers. Knives, gear cutters, etc., are mostly made of high-speed steel, cemented carbide, or ceramic.
Woodworking tools: Specifically used for wood processing.
Mining tools: Used for geological exploration, drilling, etc.
CNC tools: Specifically used for CNC machine tools, mostly with indexable inserts, emphasizing precision and efficiency.
In summary, the classification of knives is not based on a single standard, but rather on multiple dimensions such as usage scenario, material, and manufacturing process. For ordinary households, classifying knives by purpose into slicing knives, cleavers, and dual-purpose knives is the most practical guide for selection and use.
