Best grade of Stainless Steel for a blade
(OP)
Hi, I need to make a blade using stainless steel, but I'm not sure which grade to use, It will be a rotary blade for cutting nylon nets and it can hit some metals at time.
Thanks for the help

If you are talking about hitting small pieces of metal then you will get some chipping, if you mean solid metal you will need to keep the hardness lower in order to improve toughness.
Select the temper temperature that you need.

The reaction uses the C in the alloy and Ti in a gas to form a surface of TiC that is part of the blade.
Under normal conditions the blades are a '10' as honed and due to the combination of wear and corrosion (residual acid in the fibers) they wear down to a not usable '4' in about 4 hours.
The coated blades are a little less shart, only an '8' to start with, but they last 6-10 times as long before they are too dull to continue.
