Blade coating

The type of additional coating applied to the regular hacksaw blade (if such a coating is provided at all).

- Anti -corrosion. A coating designed to protect the canvas from corrosion. The tool steel from which modern saws are made is not stainless; therefore, if the tool is planned to be constantly used outdoors or in conditions of high humidity, this feature will not hurt.

- To reduce friction. A coating that reduces the friction force of the blade against the material being cut (usually wood, since this feature is mainly characteristic of saws for this material). Such a coating performs several tasks at once: it facilitates the movement of the hacksaw, reducing fatigue, reduces the degree of heating of the blade (and its tendency to deformation) and reduces the likelihood of jamming the tool in the cut.
