High speed steel exhibits excellent wear resistance and toughness and is used.
Most of the blades in our catalog are forged from high carbon stainless steel and ensure durability on top of great style.
Carbon steel can be grouped into 3 categories.
As the name implies it is mostly alloyed with carbon.
Most of our inventory is mild steel or medium carbon steel though we do have some high carbon grades as well.
Low carbon steel also known as mild steel medium carbon steel and high carbon steel.
Typically carbon steel contains up to 2 0 carbon by weight along with a variety of other alloying elements such as manganese or silicon depending on the desired attributes and physical properties.
Carbon steel grades with high amounts of carbon are desirable for knife making because they will give the blade the hardness and strength needed to hold up against impact and wear.
Also get carbon steel flat stock from 1 32 to 1 4 thick in dry or oiled finishes ideal for your building jobs.
Carbon steel makes up our other main category.
It contains a carbon content of 95 which helps to harden the steel and reduce the amount of wear and tear that a blade may experience over time.
Select low steel and mild steel rectangular or square carbon steel bars in hot rolled and cold rolled tempers that are readily brazed or welded good for screw machining and that offer you excellent ductility.
There are different ranges of carbon steel from low carbon mild steel to ultra high carbon.
And that s just a few types of raw materials to help you on your way.
High carbon blade steel is considered better than other steels for knife making due to its toughness strength edge holding and corrosion resistant properties.
We have soft forging 1018 cold rolled bar stock in square and round.
Spring steel provides excellent wear resistance and high fatigue life combined with low corrosion risk.
This material is most commonly used for forging various blades.
However proper heat treating must be.
