| 20100122620 | CIRCULAR SAW BLADE WITH THERMAL BARRIER COATING - A circular saw blade includes a ceramic coating applied to opposing major surfaces in an outer margin of the circular saw blade where cutting teeth of the saw blade are arranged in spaced-apart relation and separated by blade tooth gullets. The ceramic coating inhibits abrupt increases in temperature of the outer margin during cutting operation to thereby inhibit the cutting teeth from deviating laterally. Methods of making saw blades include applying a ceramic coating to the outer margin using a plasma spray process or another coating process. | 05-20-2010 |
