AKI-I
is a STANDARD INLAID CARBON alloy tool steel,
which is manufactured from a composite, inlaid
material, utilizing the traditional two-piece
manufacturing method. The 1/8" thick alloy tool
steel, LAID INTO the soft backing material,
provides sufficient rigidity and strength to
ensure that AKI paper knives will withstand the
extreme cutting pressures of high lifts and
coated paper.
AKI-II
is a MID-RANGE alloy tool steel, which provides
the highest degree of toughness, recommended for
shearing of mild steel 3/8" and thicker. This
durable, "shock resistant" material has
increased wearability over and above that of our
AKI-I. When shearing stainless steel, it is
recommended that you shear no more than 50% of
the machine's rated cutting capacity.
AKI-III
is a HIGH CARBON, HIGH CHROME alloy tool steel
which offers as much as twice the blade life of
our standard AKI-I. The HCHC quality is often
used for lower knives on three-knife trimming
machines.
AKI-IV
is an INLAID HIGH SPEED STEEL, which is
manufactured from the traditional two-piece
composite knife blanks. Our HSS inlaid knives
contain 18% tungsten (SKH-2) at RC 62-63 which
is designed to improve blade life as much as
five times that of our AKI-I quality. This
"high-tech" alloy is designed to be used under
high production applications, to ensure an
increased number of cuts between sharpenings,
thereby reducing cost per cutting hour.
AKI-VII
is an INLAID TUNGSTEN CARBIDE TIPPED knife
designed to give as much as ten times the blade
life between sharpenings, compared to our
standard AKI-I grade. These precision cutting
tools must be used under optimum cutting
conditions for the best results. |
