Curved Blade for Industrial Cutting Applications
Snijer’s Curved Blade is engineered with a convex or concave curvature tailored to your application. This geometry enables more efficient cutting, enhanced impact velocity, and improved material engagement — especially beneficial for abrasive, tough, or hard-to-cut materials.
Custom Dimensions on Request
We manufacture curved blades with your required radius, thickness, length, slot/holed features, and curvature direction (concave/convex). Whether for inner arcs, outer arcs, or full circular segments, we adapt the curvature to match machine tooling and process constraints.
Multiple Material Options
Depending on the material you will cut and the abrasion level, we offer:
Tool steels (e.g. D2, SKD11)
High-speed steels (HSS)
Tungsten carbide
Hybrid composites with wear-resistant overlays
Materials are selected for optimal balance of toughness, hardness, and wear resistance given the curved geometry and loading conditions.
Coating & Surface Finish Options
To further enhance lifespan and performance:
TiN, TiCN, DLC coatings for wear resistance
Polished, micro-ground or mirror-finish rake and flank surfaces to reduce friction and prevent buildup
Localized reinforcement (e.g. via diffusion nitriding) in high-stress zones
Typical Applications
Based on industry practices and blade-geometry research, here are some promising applications:
Shot-blasting / Turbine Blades: Curved blades (C-shaped) offer increased radial velocity and more efficient energy transfer compared to straight blades, improving abrasive impact on parts. rosler.com
Material Finishing / Surface Preparation: In finishing operations where surface smoothness and uniform coverage matter, curved blades can provide improved coverage and consistent material removal across curved surfaces.
Cutting or Trimming of Sheet or Strip Materials along Arcs: For example, curved blades are used in slitting or trimming when the workpiece has non-straight edges or needs to follow an arc.
Recycling, Shredding, and Material Reduction: Blade geometries in recycling often employ curved or segmented profiles to better engage and shear irregular particles. industrialbladesandknives.com
Hook / Concave Blade Use in Flooring, Roofing, Linoleum, Rubber: In utility and construction tools, hook-shaped or concave blades (a kind of curvature) are used to cut carpet, roofing felt, linoleum, and rubber sheeting. Sollex
Because curved blades allow a smoother, more continuous slicing / shearing motion with less jerk and more controlled material engagement, they often yield better surface finish and less chipping in delicate or composite materials. AnyLearn.ai+1
