When it comes to tube and pipe cutting, you want to make sure that your blades can handle the demands of the job at hand. Whether you're cutting through .065" stainless steel or 2" carbon pipe, you need a blade that can keep up. With ever changing job specifications, having a blade that can handle anything is a must. Blades made of titanium nitrate, like the 035-Ti from MIT, are designed specifically for these materials and offer significant benefits over other cutting methods and materials. Here are the top 3 reasons MIT recommends using Titanium Nitrate (TiN) blades for your sanitary welds.

The use of titanium nitrate (TiN) blades for cutting tube and pipe provides a number of distinct benefits. TiN blades are able to withstand higher temperatures and pressures than conventional steel blades, making them ideal for use in high-temperature environments or when making difficult cuts. In addition, TiN blades can retain a sharper edge for longer, which means less frequent sharpening and a longer life for the blade. This is because TiN blades can maintain an even temperature throughout the cut, reducing the chances of distortion in the finished product. Additionally, the use of TiN blades for orbital cutting can also result in improved finish quality and faster production times.

Titanium nitrate blades resist corrosion.
One of the biggest benefits of titanium nitrate blades for pipe and tube cutting is their superior corrosion resistance and vibration damping performance. This is especially important for use in purity applications like semi-conductor and pharmaceutical processing. Unlike other cutting materials, TiN blades can provide a durable and reliable cut with no additional risk of corrosion or damage to the material. The improved corrosion resistance of TiN blades also allows them to stay sharper for longer periods of time, ensuring a precise cut every time. The process of TiN coating produces a uniform, dense film that resists corrosion much better than traditional PVD coatings. This makes titanium nitrate blades ideal for orbital cutting and other forms of pipe cutting, particularly in harsh environments where corrosion could otherwise be a major issue. With titanium nitrate blades, you can rest assured that your pipe cutting projects will be resistant to corrosion.

When cutting tubes and pipes, it is important to use a tool that will be able to cut through tougher materials. This is where titanium nitrate blades come in. Titanium nitrate blades are coated with a hard TiN (Titanium Nitride) material, making them perfect for orbital cutting and pipe cutting operations. This TiN coating makes the blades significantly harder than steel, reaching 32 GPa, and are also remarkably tough. The low friction coefficient of only 0.2μ allows for faster cutting speeds when using titanium nitrate blades. This not only helps reduce the time needed to complete a job but also significantly increases the service life of the blade compared to an uncoated steel blade. The service life of a titanium nitrate blade can be up to four or five times longer than that of a steel blade.
 
Using titanium nitrate blades for cutting tube and pipe has numerous benefits in orbital cutting. Titanium nitrate blades are incredibly strong and durable, allowing them to quickly and efficiently cut through a variety of materials with ease. Additionally, they are heat-resistant and can be used in high-temperature environments, making them ideal for use in industrial applications. Their corrosion resistance makes them ideal for sanitary projects, and the coating reduces costs associated with blade replacement. Finally, titanium nitrate blades offer superior accuracy and precision when cutting pipe and tube, ensuring that the final product is of the highest quality. In short, titanium nitrate blades are the perfect choice for any type of pipe cutting application.
