Damascus Steel from Nails

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My first attempt at making canister damascus from steel nails and powder 1095 steel mixed with 4% pure nickle powder (to make it etch bright like 15n20).
I forge welded a piece of k720 steel on one side because I'll make a single bevel knife from this steel later!

    Cool look, but probably not the best for a knife with all those soft nail bits along the edge.. Would be cool as cladding pieces for san-mai with a high carbon centre or it would work better on its own if you cut and stacked a few times to get a more consistent level of high carbon along the edge, but you'd also lose a lot of the cool pattern..

    Depends on the type of nails. Wood nails are made of mild steel, but masonry nails are made of good medium-high carbon steel (0.50%+), so would make a perfectly fine steel for a knife. Some other speciality nails also have a decent carbon content, like shoe/boot nails and the sort.

    Nice knife, well made...I've noticed that you don't fold the billet whenever you make a knife... doesn't doing that make the grain tighter and stronger, therefore a much stronger blade with more edge retention?...just curious

  • @autumn5592

    @autumn5592

    2 жыл бұрын

    No. Folding just changes pattern (if you're using contrasting steels), and spreads carbon (or other additives) into other parts of the metal (or if worked long enough, worked out of the metal.) For consistent metals, like this should be, folding will do nothing for it -- the grain size is related to temperatures when normalizing and quenching, not how you move the steel. Folding the steel was common in the older days where you had trash steel that was impure, and folding caused the impurities to be removed, and carbon to be evenly spread. Smaller grains reduce edge retention (wear resistance), not improve it. However, smaller grains improve toughness, making it less likely to break (which has an indirect effect on edge retention, causing the edge to deflect instead of chip, resulting in slightly higher edge retention.) Grain size doesn't effect sharpness either, because the grains are significantly smaller than the apex of the knife can get (depends on the steel, and the carbide formed, some alloy steels can be quite large grained, and as a result can effect sharpness, but not in a meaningful manner.)

    Salut, si je ne me trompe pas, tu as du voir les vidéos de shurap, qui ajoute du poivre dans ses cannister. C'est en fait une blague du forgeron car en russe, le mot Spicy (épicé) est similaire à sharp (tranchant), il ajoute do c du tranchant à sont couteau ^^ sinon certains mettent du carbone ou un matériaux inflammable pour supprimer l'oxygène lors de la soudure. Ensuite généralement on met du tippex sur les parois pour faciliter le retrait du cannister. Les "sachets" ont l'air d'être du feuillard.

    Depends on when you mean. When he was cutting with the angle grinder, that was the steel tube being shed, because it has no carbon content it's useless. (He specifically took measures to prevent it sticking to the other steel.) If you mean the little bits of metal that fall off when it's being forged, that's carbon and other impurities being removed from the steel.
