The present invention relates to cutting assemblies, and in particular, to a cutting assembly formed by welding a metal material, and a method for manufacturing same.
Tooth tips of common bladed saws are usually made of materials such as entire medium-high carbon steel or entire low alloy steel, for example, 65Mn, SK5, or 50#. However, due to a limitation of materials, a tooth tip of a bladed saw using the material as a whole has poor abrasive resistance.
If a super-wide bimetal composite steel strip is used for an entire hand saw, the hand saw has a width of at least 90 mm. Because a backing material of a bimetal composite steel strip saw blade is generally high-strength alloy steel, and a total content of alloy elements exceeds 5.0%, excessively high costs are caused and the hand saw is less competitive in the market.
In addition, if the super-wide bimetal composite steel strip is used, after a wire of high-speed steel such as M2 or M42 is butt welded to the high-strength alloy steel such as D6A or X32 used as the backing material, overall heat treatment of a high-speed steel technique needs to be performed in a subsequent heat treatment process, and high-temperature tempering needs to be performed, causing a substrate of the saw blade to have low hardness, which is of only approximately 30 HRC, and have poor strength. In addition, the saw blade greatly deforms and is difficult to control.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages in the prior art, a technical problem to be resolved in the present invention is to provide a cutting assembly having abrasive resistance, toughness, and high hardness.
The present invention provides a cutting assembly.
The cutting assembly includes a substrate, a cutting edge, and a welding portion.
The substrate includes a first metal portion, and the first metal portion is of medium-high carbon steel or low alloy steel and has a first side surface.
The cutting edge is formed by overlapping a second metal portion with a third metal portion used for an edge, the second metal portion is of high-strength alloy steel and has a second side surface, and the third metal portion is of high-speed tool steel and has a third side surface.
The welding portion connects the first metal portion and the second metal portion.
Further, the cutting edge is a composite steel strip that is formed by overlapping the second metal portion and the third metal portion used for the edge.
Further, the high-speed tool steel has hardness of 58 HRC to 72 HRC.

The present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a cutting assembly. The manufacturing method includes: welding a composite steel strip formed by using a second metal portion and a third metal portion to a substrate, to form a blank body of the cutting assembly, where a welding process occurs between the second metal portion and a first metal portion as the substrate, and a welding portion is formed between the second metal portion and the first metal portion after the welding; and then performing low-temperature tempering treatment on the welding portion, to relieve welding stress of the welding portion.

Further, when a continuous rare-earth doped laser whose wavelength is 1070 nm±10 nm is used for the welding, a laser welding joint moves at a speed of 5 mm/s to 50 mm/s.
The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. The cutting assembly in the present invention uses three metal structures, and uses medium-high carbon steel or low alloy steel with relatively low costs as a material of the substrate, so that the costs of a hand saw with a relatively size to which the cutting assembly is applied can be reduced. A tooth tip of the hand saw uses a high-speed steel material such as M2, M42, or M35, so that the abrasive resistance of the hand saw is dramatically improved, and the service life of the saw is increased.
2. The cutting assembly in the present invention may use a mature bimetal composite steel strip that is produced for commercial purposes. The bimetal composite steel strip is welded after heat treatment, ensuring the hardness of a saw blade and a tooth portion, achieving high abrasive resistance of a tooth tip, and ensuring high toughness of the saw blade.
3. A common saw blade is used as the substrate, and a narrow bimetal composite steel strip is used as a material of the tooth portion, so that the saw has a relatively high price-performance ratio.
In the figures, 1: Substrate; 11: First metal portion; 2: Cutting edge; 21: Second metal portion; 22: Third metal portion 22.

It should be understood that, the implementations are merely examples for describing the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any manner.
As shown in
The cutting assembly includes a substrate, a cutting edge, and a welding portion. The cutting assembly uses three metal structures, that is, the cutting assembly is formed by using three metal materials with different performance.
The substrate includes a first metal portion, and the first metal portion is of medium-high carbon steel or low alloy steel and has a first side surface.
The cutting edge is formed by overlapping a second metal portion with a third metal portion used for an edge, the second metal portion is of high-strength alloy steel and has a second side surface, and the third metal portion is of high-speed tool steel and has a third side surface.
The welding portion connects the first metal portion and the second metal portion.
The medium-high carbon steel or the low alloy steel is selected as the substrate of the cutting assembly, and serves as a material of a large part of a backing material of the cutting assembly, thereby dramatically reducing the overall costs of the cutting assembly.
The high-strength alloy steel is selected as a transition part for welding. The welding occurs between the first metal portion and the second metal portion.
