The resultant blade has a hard edge that stays sharper for longer when compared to conventional steel knives.
Can ceramic be used to make blades.
They stay up to 75 percent cooler than steel blades when used over long periods of time since they conduct less heat than steel blades.
Industries as varied as pulp and paper and aerospace benefit from the use of engineered ceramic utility blades because of these inherent properties.
Advantages of ceramic on the other hand ceramic blades are corrosion free.
Safe up to 1600 degrees celsius.
Ceramic never rusts which means it doesn t require the same oils and lubricants used on metal blades to prevent premature rusting.
When it comes to the claim that ceramic can t be used industrially slice s customers over half the fortune 1000 respectfully disagree.
They are not useful for cutting through meat with bones so choose a stainless steel knife for cutting up whole chickens.
Slice blades are designed for industrial use and they ve proven to be just as versatile as steel blades.
But i m really old fashioned about these things so i ll go with.
A ceramic knife is a knife designed with a ceramic blade typically made from zirconium dioxide.
They make amazing cuts.
Well other blades cannot even make a simple cut in the ceramic tiles.
It is 8 5 on the mohs scale of mineral hardness compared to 4 5 for normal steel and 7 5 to 8 for hardened steel and 10 for diamond.
There are a lot of exotic steels out there with almost magical characteristics and i m sure that the cutlers that s the old name for knife smiths will tell you their favorites.
However these great diamond blades can give amazing precision while using them to cut ceramic tiles.
Ceramic blades are also not all purpose kitchen knives.
They are a joy to use according to the international barber association.
When these blades cut these ceramic tiles the accuracy of these blades leaves none of the edges of the tiles rough.
These knife blades are usually produced through the dry pressing and firing of powdered zirconia using solid state sintering.
