METHOD FOR PRODUCING A STRIP STEEL KNIFE, AND STRIP STEEL KNIFE FOR TOOLS

摘要

Method and strip steel knife from a steel strip having a bainite and decarburized surface. The steel strip has a generally rectangular cross-section, and the method includes machining a plurality of beveled surfaces in a region of a longitudinal edge of the steel strip to create at least a cutting surface defining a longitudinal cutting edge; first hardening at least a part of the cutting surface to form a first cutting edge region of the longitudinal cutting edge; smoothing the cutting surface of at least the first cutting edge region toward the longitudinal cutting edge; and at least one further hardening in the first cutting edge region to form a distal cutting edge region of the longitudinal cutting edge within the first cutting edge region having an increased material hardness with respect to the first cutting edge region located outside the distal cutting edge region.
