Introduction to Solid Fixed Blades
ShengAo Solid Fixed Blades represent the pinnacle of industrial cutting technology, engineered to deliver uncompromising performance in the most demanding material processing applications. Unlike standard blades, these precision-engineered cutting tools are manufactured from solid blocks of premium-grade steel using advanced CNC grinding and heat treatment processes. Designed specifically for heavy-duty shredding, plastic recycling, metal processing, and composite cutting operations, ShengAo blades maintain cutting integrity through extended service cycles while resisting deformation under extreme pressures. With global industrial blade market projected to reach $4.8 billion by 2027, the demand for specialized cutting solutions like ShengAo's fixed blades continues to grow across recycling, manufacturing, and waste processing sectors.
Key Features and Technological Advantages
Industrial-Grade Durability
ShengAo Solid Fixed Blades are manufactured using premium materials that undergo specialized heat treatment processes to achieve Rockwell hardness ratings of 58-62 HRC. This exceptional hardness enables the blades to maintain cutting integrity through extended service cycles while resisting deformation under extreme pressures. The proprietary hardening process creates a blade structure that withstands impact forces exceeding 1500 MPa without chipping or fracturing, making them ideal for processing challenging materials like automotive scrap, e-waste, and reinforced plastics.
Precision Engineering
Every ShengAo blade undergoes CNC precision grinding with tolerances maintained within ±0.01mm, ensuring consistent cutting performance and perfect alignment in industrial cutting systems. This level of precision is critical for applications requiring clean cuts without material deformation, such as plastic granulation and metal shearing. The blades feature optimized cutting geometries with edge angles ranging from 12° to 18° depending on application requirements, balancing sharpness for clean cuts with durability for extended service life.
Specialized Coatings
ShengAo offers advanced surface treatments that extend blade life by up to 300% compared to uncoated alternatives:
- TiN (Titanium Nitride): Gold-colored coating reducing friction by 40%
- TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride): Blue-gray coating with superior abrasion resistance
- AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride): For extreme temperature applications
- CrN (Chromium Nitride): Corrosion-resistant coating for wet environments
Customization Capabilities
ShengAo provides comprehensive customization services to meet unique operational requirements. Engineers can tailor blade dimensions, tooth configurations, material composition, and coating specifications to match specific cutting challenges. Custom solutions include specialized carbide inserts for high-abrasion applications, hybrid steel compositions for impact resistance, and unique tooth geometries for specific material types.
Primary Applications of Solid Fixed Blades
Heavy-Duty Shredding
ShengAo blades process diverse materials including:
- Automotive scrap and ELV (End-of-Life Vehicles)
- Industrial waste and demolition debris
- E-waste and electrical components
- Tires and rubber products
Our blades maintain cutting efficiency even when processing mixed-material streams containing metals, plastics, and composites.
Plastic Recycling
Optimized for processing all polymer types:
| Plastic Type | Recommended Blade | Edge Angle | Coating |
|---|---|---|---|
| PET/PETE | HSS with TiCN | 14° | TiCN |
| HDPE | Tool Steel | 16° | CrN |
| PVC | Stainless Steel | 12° | AlTiN |
| PP | Carbide-Tipped | 18° | TiN |
Metal Processing
ShengAo blades handle ferrous and non-ferrous metals up to 10mm thickness with specialized blade configurations for different metal types. Our blades maintain cutting performance through 500+ operating hours even when processing hardened steel and alloys.
Composite Material Cutting
Engineered solutions for advanced composites including carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar-reinforced materials. Specialized edge geometries prevent delamination and fraying while carbide-enhanced blades withstand the abrasive nature of composite materials.
Material Options and Specifications
High-Speed Steel (HSS)
M2 and M35 grade HSS blades offer excellent toughness and wear resistance for general-purpose applications. Heat treated to 60-63 HRC with optional coatings.
Carbide Steel
Tungsten carbide blades provide maximum wear resistance for highly abrasive materials. Ideal for glass-filled plastics, mineral-filled compounds, and carbon fiber processing.
Tool Steel Variants
D2, D3, and A2 tool steels balance hardness and impact resistance for demanding shredding applications. Through-hardened to 58-60 HRC with deep hardening properties.

How to Select the Right Solid Fixed Blade
Material Compatibility
Match blade material to processed materials:
- Carbide: Glass-filled plastics, minerals, carbon fiber
- HSS: General plastics, non-ferrous metals
- Tool Steel: Ferrous metals, mixed waste streams
Cutting Environment Considerations
Select coatings based on operating conditions:
- Wet Processing: CrN coating for corrosion resistance
- High-Temperature: AlTiN coating maintains hardness
- Abrasive Materials: TiCN coating reduces wear
Blade Dimensions and Geometry
Optimize cutting efficiency with proper geometry selection:
- 12° Edge: Sharpest cut for soft materials
- 16° Edge: Balanced sharpness and durability
- 18° Edge: Maximum durability for hard materials
Installation and Maintenance Best Practices
Proper Installation Procedures
Ensure correct blade mounting with torque specifications of 80-120 N·m depending on blade size. Always use calibrated torque wrenches and follow parallel alignment procedures to prevent premature wear.
Routine Maintenance Tips
- Inspect blades every 40 operating hours
- Rotate blades regularly to distribute wear evenly
- Clean blade seats during changeovers
- Measure edge wear with precision gauges
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Premature Wear | Incorrect blade material selection | Upgrade to carbide or specialized coating |
| Edge Chipping | Excessive impact or misalignment | Check mounting alignment and torque |
| Reduced Cutting Efficiency | Blunt edge or incorrect geometry | Resharpen or replace with proper edge angle |
| Vibration | Uneven wear or imbalance | Rotate blades or replace set |
