Looking for CPM10V in strip

[Darkin]

This is my first post at here. It is about looking for help .
I need particle metallurgy high speed steel for thin blades. Crucible CPM10V seems to be good. It is easy to get in general forms say bar, tube. But, the problem is I need it in cold rolled strips with thickness approx. 0.025" and approx. 0.03".

Somebody could and will help advise the availalbe resources? Thanks, Thanks...

What are you making? Razor blades?

They will probably move this to the knife makers forum, but no knife suppliers I know would have that steel or thickness. Call crucible direct at there Dallas outfit wich handles small orders. $75.00 minimun I think, with that steel you should have no problem meeting that.

Appreciate the advice on the third floor.
The blade is for cutting small metal wires in electronic device manufacture.

Yes, call Crucible and ask them if anyone makes their steel in strip (because they don't), and after they tell you "No", then we can help you with alternative steels.

You can get full sheets of high alloy materials in full sheet form and would have to laser cut it into strips. Hot rolled sheets down to 0.040" are made that would finish to 0.025".

0.6mm, thats thin. i know uddeholm strip and sandvik make stripsteel for knives etc, but crucible, forget it (if you dont wanna grind it down yourself, i wouldnt recommend it tho, i suspect it will be very cost inefficient to say the least)

Thanks everybody.
Crucible does not supply CPM steel in so thin form.
Satrang, I'm intrested in your suggestion. Laser cutting can work for 1" deepth? Could you pls advise the source of alloy steel cutting service?

Call Uddeholm strip about AEB-L (www.uddeholmstrip.com), or Sandvik for 19C27 (www.sandvik.com). They are stainless steels, but they're about the most wear resistant strip steel grades you will find. 19C27 is more wear resistant than AEB-L, but AEB-L might be easier to get in small quantities and in a short period of time.

Darkin, A laser will cut to about 1/4 inch thick material. A water jet with abrasive is needed past that. If you wanted a 1/8 inch thick by 1 inch wide you could do this via laser by using the laser to strip the material. Laser cutting is relatively cheap compared to water jet cutting.
