High-Carbon granular spheroid annealing Steel

The steel for blades which is a chemical compound made up of iron and carbon, and more carbon makes harder.
We select the steels carefully and use only steels with High-Carbon granular spheroid annealing. This is applied on all the items.

Marquench Hardening (hot bath quenching)

Commonly the hardening is know as hardened by heating up to the hardening point and then cooled it down in the water or in the oil.
ARS apply the hardening system which has the control of the perfect temperatures for heating up and cooling down. This produces the extremely hard and yet tenacity steel which is suitable for ARS quality blades.

This hardening involves both heating up and cooling down within thousands of a second, by applying the impact energy created by high frequency currents. This method has enabled ARS blades to embody the remarkable hardness of 900HV to 1,000HV on the Vickers scale, above any reading on the Rockwell C scale, and still retain their high elasticity. This will extend blade life by approximately three times in normal usage.

The most of the surface of ARS products are coated with 5 to 10μ thickness of Hard-Chrome layer. This offers greater hardness, rust proofing, superior durability as well as the sharp looking of the cutting edge. The smooth surface prevents from resin, accumulating the blades, especially on the fresh woods.

It smoothes the surface sliding and enable to produce extra cutting performance.
The coating prevents from resin and stain.
Applied: 185-1.5, LP series, K-950Z

The coating prevents from resin, stain and rust.
Applied: TL series,UV/CT series,CAM-18LN &24LN, CB/CBR series, K-800, K-900Z.

Super High Speed Steel has developed in recent years with totally different concept of making steel which is extremely hard compare to the ordinal ones.
ARS has quickly taken this material up and managed to produce the Aramid Cutting Scissors, ARSuper 526-H.

Convenient and economical system has been applied on all the saws & Long Reach Pruners, CB/CBR series,V series, SE series, K-1000, K-1000L, K-1100, LP-series and 526.
