Analysed is the ability of Ukrainian organisations to set up production of band saws and hack-saws in the bimetal variant, when the cutting part of the tool is made of high-speed steel, and the base - of carbon or low-alloyed steel. Given are the results of studying the technology of electron beam welding (EBW) and heat treatment of various combinations of steel, as well as industrial application of the locally-made equipment.
Keywords: saw blades, hack-saws, bimetal blank, cutting edge, high-speed steel, drawing, base, cutting force, heat treatment, EBW, pilot production trials, introduction
