Tobacco cutting machine knives (MK) are circular disk or conventional rectangular shape,MK & ancillaries are modular construction for ease of maintenance. Theabrasiveness/corrosiveness of tobacco decreases knife sharpness, causing irregularities inquality of cut tobacco & machine blockages. MK & ancillaries have to be regularly replacedwith reconditioned/new parts causing machine down times & fewer cigarettes being produced.Conventional tobacco cutting MK & wear parts are manufactured from tool steel, stainless &mild steel. The cutting knife & ancillary parts tool life are short, lasting from a little as 4 hrsto a maximum of 48 hrs depending on type of tobacco.The study involves exploration of the tobacco cutting machine market investigating themanufacture of MK & ancillaries. The company hope to develop a unique powder met basedmaterial, specifically formulated to resist corrosion/wear of cutting tobacco. This uniquepowder met material will be used in conjunction with a unique manufacturing method. Theproject aims to evaluate whether formulation of a new tobacco resistant powder met material& new proposed method of production would provide tooling with advanced wear propertieswhilst enabling reduced overall manufacturing costs.

烟草切割机刀（MK）是圆形圆盘或传统的矩形形状，MK和辅助装置是模块化结构，便于维护。烟草的磨蚀性/腐蚀性降低了刀的锋利性，导致切割烟草的不平整、不合格和机器堵塞。MK和辅助设备必须定期更换维修/新部件，导致机器停机时间和卷烟产量减少。传统的烟草切割MK和磨损部件由工具钢，不锈钢和低碳钢制造。刀具和辅助部件的刀具寿命很短，根据烟草的类型，持续时间从4小时到48小时不等。本研究包括对烟草切割机市场的探索，对MK及其辅助设备的生产进行调查。该公司希望开发一种独特的粉末基材料，专门用于抗烟丝的腐蚀/磨损。这种独特的粉末材料将与一种独特的制造方法结合使用。该项目旨在评估一种新的抗烟草粉末的配方是否符合材料和新的拟议生产方法，将提供具有先进磨损性能的工具，同时降低总体制造成本。
