When Iron is heated it's grains takes on a variety of crystal structures at different temperatures, if allowed to cool slowly (annealing) the metal reverts back into it's plastic pliable form, when heated and quenched suddenly it locks the iron into what's called face-centered cubic lattice locking all the atoms in place making the metal harder.

@phoenix.8679

2 ай бұрын

Yes, but actually no. It's not getting locked into face-centered structure, you only need that because of its higher solubility for carbon in that structure. You can tell from hardened and tempered steel being magnetic, while the face-centered structure is non-magnetic (see stainless steel with high nickel content).

1. Heat steel above certain temperature 2. Steel becomes austenitic (face centered), which has high carbon uptake 3. Quench 4. Iron rapidly reverts to body centered crystal structure which has lower carbon uptake 5. Carbon atoms don't have enough time to diffuse out of the crystals since diffusion is a rate and temperature dependent process 6. Carbon is forced to stay inside of the body centered crystals and creates compressive stresses, which increases hardness

Hey Cody, when you're quenching the material, it's better to move it up and down in the water, because if you just place it in the water bath the immediate liquid around the hot metal will create a bubble of vapor around it which will prevent the water from being as effective as it should quenching the material. This is what many smiths are taught, so if you watch videos of them forging things, this is why they sort of bob the material in the quench bath.

This is far more of an issue for an oil quench than a water quench. Yes, the steam jacket forms in both quenching media, but water vapor is still very heat conductive, and will therefore still cool the metal quickly. The Grossmann H-Value (a measure of quenching intensity) for water without agitation is 1.0, while the same for oil without agitation is 0.25. An oil quench with violent agitation (which is beyond what most smiths will ever do, and probably impossible to even achieve with a workpiece as large as the one Cody was working with here) is around 0.8 to 1.10, which means that the highest cooling rate possible with oil is roughly equivalent to the cooling rate of water with zero agitation. Extrapolating this principle, an oil quench with moderate agitation (which is what most smiths will use), with an H value of 0.4 or so, produces significantly slower cooling when compared to a non-agitated water quench. Moreover, using water AND moderate agitation produces an H-value of 1.3, while strong agitation has an H-value of 2.0, and violent agitation can get all the way up to 4.0 - all of these options cool the steel far faster than oil ever could, and thus the more you agitate in water, the more likely you are to risk shattering your workpiece.

If you ever want to do something similar to torch welding but don't have access to a torch and gas bottles, you can do something similar with an AC arc welder if you make a holder for a couple of carbon rods called an arc torch. Generating an arc between the two rods will produce a sort of flame that can heat metal without consuming an electrode or creating a deposit like stick welding. I've done that myself, and while it is less controlled than using oxyacetylene, it is great for doing torch style welding or for heating up metal to red hot. I bent a piece of cast iron using my home made carbon arc torch.

I'd argue your metallurgy isn't 100% sound but your concepts are right. In short, while carbon molecules are relevant, tempering an annealing has more to do with the alignment of crystals in the metal matrix. When metal is hot, crystals align themselves with each other. When cooled slowly the crystals can form or settle in a random configuration. When metal is cooled quickly, the crystals are all remain aligned making them strong. Cooling in Water can be problematic compared with cooling in oil. But it can be done and without a doubt the additional annealing worked great for chain mail armour. Great Video.

You can also make a ribbon of Euro 4 in 1 by twisting the 2 in 1 chain until it binds and then linking open rings through the top or bottom (whichever side is lacking the rings in the binding pattern.) Could help save time in future endeavors, since you wouldn't have to cut and reweave so many rings.

Before I ever paint galvanized steel I always swab the surface with a HCL moistened rag for proper paint adhesion. Hardened and high carbon steel rusts slowly. 1005/1020 steel, CRCQ steel & low carbon steel will rust quickly. The chain mail skirt on my suit of armour has flat links probably so the weld joint is over-lapped, heated, & pounded to fuse the joined ends together. Back then there was no oxy-acetylene torch & filler rod to weld links together. I would never have the patience to make chain mail. With that said I commend Cody for doing all the work on this video.

Not the collaboration I was expecting, but definitely the collaboration I needed. Very nice!
