MARATHON® X3000® — The special band saw blade for high-strength and difficult-to-cut materials

For the sawing of high-alloyed, difficult-to-machine materials as well as tempered steels (over 1000 N/mm² tensile strength), WIKUS has developed the cutting material X3000^®.

X3000^® is characterized by its high hardness and excellent toughness. This combination of material properties results in a particularly good cutting edge stability with MARATHON® X3000^®.

In combination with the carrier band made of alloyed tempering steel, the MARATHON® X3000^® bimetal band saw blade achieves outstanding continuous operation properties.
 

Application Range

Application

• High-alloy austenitic materials
• Steels from 1000 N/mm² tensile strength
