Abstract
The saw and cutting blades of this invention have an electroless nickel boron coating applied from a bath containing metal stabilizers. The metal stabilizer is usually introduced into the coating from an electroless coating bath and is co-deposited into the coating. The source of the metal stabilizer is usually a metal compound or salt that is used to stabilize the nickel boron bath.
Claims20
A blade comprising an electroless nickel boron metal Type 1 coating wherein the coating contains at least about 1% by weight elemental metal wherein the coating is formed by codepositing the elemental metal with the nickel and boron from an alkaline electroless bath and wherein the blade has a flat plane that warps or distorts when heated in excess of 150° F. during cutting without said coating.
A process of cutting material with a blade that is exposed to heat in excess of 120° F. during cutting comprising:
- providing a motorized blade that has been coated with an electroless nickel boron metal coating, wherein the coating is formed by codepositing the elemental metal with nickel and boron from an alkaline electroless bath to form a type 1 coating, wherein the coating contains at least 1% by weight elemental metal, wherein the blade has a flat plane that warps or distorts when heated in excess of 150° F. during cutting without the coating, and cutting the material with the blade so that blade temperature is exposed to temperatures in excess of 120° F.
