Our 52100 data was with Parks 50 oil at room temperature.
New article on how to read and use a datasheet. I’ve seen that there is some confusion about which datasheets to use and how to use one once you...
Here is some data on L3 steel that is relevant to this discussion: [IMG]
The plus or minus labeled on the block is the ASTM spec requirement, the actual block is likely much tighter in distribution than that. The block...
I was able to interview him for an article a couple years ago. I'm sad to hear he is gone.
Reducing the tempering temperature generally reduces toughness along with an increase in hardness.
There are tradeoffs, but LC200N has very excellent toughness. It didn't give up toughness for corrosion resistance. And while it is limited to...
LC200N has excellent toughness. Chipping would be the result of poor heat treatment, edge geometry, or users.
I read through the article and I see that I said that a high temper is better at converting retained austenite but I don't see where I gave a...

They did reorganize and become a new Crucible but it is true that they are a different type of company now.
In my mind there’s not many knife steels but there are so many left to write about.
Here is what I said in the article:
In the article I called it a “medium oil” steel. Canola is plenty fast enough.
Miss you, mete. Hopefully everything is good in the great beyond.
CruForgeV was a steel developed by Crucible for forging bladesmiths. The steel didn't take off thanks to a combination of negative factors mostly...
Typically low temperature forging is done in an attempt to reduce the final grain size. I’m not sure that is actually accomplished though with the...
Bohler ranks their K600 as tougher than their S1, which they rate as being similar to their high V A8 Mod (WP7V), and both tougher than their low...
