< The Comparison of Chinese TCT Saw blade and Sanyo's TCT Saw blade>
We compared Chinese TCT Saw blade and Sanyo's TCT Saw blade.
Chinese blade which is the same price range as our product. It also adopted by Japanese brush cutter manufacturers.

①"Component analysis of tungsten carbide tips:"
・Alloy composition: It shows the ratio of WC (tungsten), Co (cobalt) and other components which make up the
carbide tip.
・Porosity: It shows the volume ratio of small holes of carbide tip. The carbide tip is fragile if there are a
lot of porosity or large porosity.

②Withdrawal strength(N) of carbide tip・・・We measured when tungsten carbide tip fall off if we apply how much
Newtons.

③Durability test・・・ Set the engine speed to 6000 rpm. We impacted blades to a concrete block 10,000 times
with a force of 5 kg / f to confirm breaking and chipping of tips.

TCT Compare

【Consideration】
①Alloy composition・・・・・・・Iron(Fe) was found in Chinese two types products. Since the carbide tip contains
Fe so it becomes weak in strength, it might be get a piece chipped easily.

②Porosity・・・・・・・・・Chinese blade's carbide tungsten tip has a holes of 0.02% volume ratio of 10 to 20 μm
holes. Sanyo's carbide tip is not a hole.
We think that Chinese products are fragile and easy to crack. ⇒ Chinese TCT saw blade has a big problem regard
to safety."
③HRA hardness・・・・・・・All six blades are HRA 85 or more. ( Japan Industrial Standard: HRA85 or more)
④Withdrawal strength(N) of carbide tip・・ All of them are okay. We can say that RY is very strong.

⑤Durability test・・・・・・・Sanyo's products had no problem about chipping and cracking even they hit 10,000
times. On the other hand, Chinese products were chipped and cracked very early (only 10, 50, 500times hit). ⇒
Chinese balde are very dangerous product…
