Hardness’s for TopDurFlex edge hardened rules, hardening depth: min. 0.15 mm

Hardness of cutting edge:
580 HV ± 20 HV (approx. 54 ± 2 HRc) = standard
700 HV ± 20 HV (approx. 60 ± 2 HRcv) = alternatively
800 HV ± 20 HV (approx. 66 ± 2 HRc)

= alternatively

 

Hardness according to customers‘ requirements: hardness indication
± 20 HV (± 2 HRc)max. hardening depth 0.3 mm. TopDurFlex cutting
rules are mainly produced from H2 or H3X steel.

measured across the body. The maximum tolerance
results from height H according to the following formula:


X = max. 1 μm / mm

z.B. for height 23,8 mm :
X = 23,8 x 0,001= max. 0,024 mm
straightness of the cutting edge or the back of 1 meter length:
L = 1.000 mm X max. 0,5 mm
L bis 500 mm X max. 0,3 mm

 

admissible torsion on 1 m length:
max. 10° for any height

 

 

 

meter lengths only:

length = L = 1.000 mm
X= max. 10 mm for meter lengths
X= max. 30 mm for coils
for centre bevel and long centre bevel:


M = ±0,02 mm for thickness 0.4; 0.45; 0.5 and 0.71 mm
