Sawing of marble, granite and other species of rocks for the building industry and other purposes is carried out to large extent in stone gangsaws with diamond segmented blades. Up to 100 saw blades can be fitted in a single set-up.

The demands made on stone sawing call for straight cuts, high cutting speed and maximum utilization of the expensive diamond-segmented saw blades.

STELCO Gangsaw steel meets the demands made by saw blade manufacturers and consumers on the  quality of the blade material.

Some characteristic properties of STELCO gangsaw steel are:-

• High fatigue resistance. this is an important property, since stone saw blades  are frequently exposed  to high and varying loads as well as to vibrations i.e. high fatigue stresses.
• High transition temperature, resulting in less risk of undesirable martensite formation during the brazing of the diamond segments.
• A chemical composition which minimizes the risk of cracks in connection with brazing.
• Good flatness and straightness.
• Square, smooth edges which is a pre-requisite for strong & durable joint between the parent blade & segments.
