The right solution for cutting Nitinol (super hard metal)/ Hard Steel core(bar)
The right solution for cutting Nitinol (super hard metal)/ Hard Steel core(bar)
(OP)
Looking for a solution for cutting (super hard) Nitinol tubes and hard Steel cores(about 0.25" to 1"). Can "cold cutting saw" potentially be a solution? Im specifically asking about this method since I could avoid considering an exhaust system.
I would appreciate if you can share your comment with me.
Thanks,

It may require a carbide tipped blade, and great care.

Carbide on hard materials would require very precise feed control and rigid fixturing.

Nitinol => nickel- titanium alloy [tube] material [that is bio-compatible]??
… AND also [separate-subject/material]...
UHS alloy steel [like bars, plate, etc]???

Each material (and with tubing each wall thickness) will have its own blade/speed combination.
Cold saws are not fast, they are clean and precise. And expensive even before you start buying blades.
A good auto feed wet abrasive saw is a real option. They come with full hoods and take minimal ventilation.
Don't expect to get good cuts on difficult materials with a cheap solution, it doesn't work that way.

The answers I found were literally mind bending...

Of course wire EDM may also be an option.
