In our salt spray test laboratory, we continuously test the corrosion resistance of our knives compared to the competition.
We continuously test the hardness of the steel to minimize the risk of knife breakage.
For the highest quality requirements, we perform material testing by means of metallography to qualify the heat treatment.
Under standardized conditions, the workpieces to be tested are placed in a test chamber and exposed to a corrosion-promoting atmosphere. This atmosphere is created by spraying a salt solution. In the TECHNICUM from ALFRED GIESSER MESSERFABRIK, this process is used for quality assurance of industrial knives and workpieces that are used in a corrosive environment. In this way, we guarantee our customers high and consistent corrosion resistance.
Durch eine hohe Härte erhält der Stahl eine hohe mechanische sowie chemische Verschleißbeständigkeit. Jedoch nimmt bei zunehmender Härte die Zähigkeit ab, was ebenfalls eine wichtige Eigenschaft eines Industriemessers ist, um die Gefahr des Messerbruchs zu minimieren.
Um diese Eigenschaften für den Schneidprozess in ein optimales Verhältnis zu setzten, muss die Härte exakt eingestellt und der Härteprozess überwacht werden. Für eine gleichbleibende Qualität wird die Härte durch ein normiertes Härteprüfverfahren geprüft und dokumentiert.
A fine and homogeneous microstructure ensures a sharp cutting edge and high toughness. Metallographic microstructural testing is used to examine the quality and properties of metals after heat treatment. This is an important part of our quality assurance.
For each application, we develop the optimum geometry for the perfect cut.
For a precise cut, we test the best cutting solution for your specific material to be cut.
With the help of the pin-on-disc process, we develop surfaces according to tribological aspects.
We measure the surface quality in Rz. The roughness value has an influence on the respective cutting result.
Every material to be cut has its own individual properties, which require an adapted blade geometry. We can support you in developing the optimal geometry for the perfect cut.
With our cutting test bench we test your industrial knives with regard to the cutting forces and the cutting pattern. A force sensor records the occurring cutting forces in detail and allows them to be validated and optimized.
Friction-optimized surfaces are necessary for a gentle cut and low buildup on the knife. The friction test rig is used to determine the friction between the knife surface and the material to be cut and to optimize it from a tribological point of view.
The surface finish is of paramount importance in the manufacture of industrial knives, especially in the medical and food industries. A low surface roughness reduces adhesion and facilitates cleaning, thus minimizing the formation of bacteria. Furthermore, the cutting performance as well as the corrosion resistance can be increased by a low roughness value (Rz). The surface roughness can be determined both tactilely and optically.
