Any questions about the process I might have missed?

I put a temp comtrol loop on my ribbon burner as you have and IIRC,am getting +/- 15F swing as you did. My first HT ever and I have done about 15 blades in AEB-L. They test really well and I also dream of stainless damascus!!!! Do I need to tighten the temp swing? Iimagine that the steel lags the ambient temp and is not varying as the thermocouple shows. Thank you for all that you do. I woud not be here this fast without you!

@@judcargile Yeah the workpiece's temp will lag the temp quite a bit. You can also alter your PID setting so that there's less lag, but honestly 15F is pretty good. Thanks for watching.

I applaud you for pushing your boundaries. This is clearly an equipment-intensive build, what with the PID and all, and not something most of us would try. Here's hoping the final billet is spectacular!

Imagine trying to work stainless to make armor by hand, you're right, it does NOT like to move much at all. Loving watching this evolve !!!

I'm excited to see what you make with the billet! I was thinking a raindrop or random pattern chef knife with a bloodwood or cocobolo handle would look quite nice.

@TyrellKnifeworks

It won’t have enough layers for a raindrop. You really need over 100 layers for a raindrop to look decent, the more layers the better. Otherwise it just looks like a few concentric circles. Stay tuned, you’ll see what I make. 😉

it reminds me of forging Wrought iron a bit cold...the another session of annealing is definitely not what the subtitles says it is LOL (4.53 if you want a laugh) Awesome job Denis the Argon weld seems to make quite a difference to the process I think stainless damascus should have a way higher pricetag than carbon steels, you certainly earnt it so far.

heh, all I can say is you're succeeding so far and I'm hoping it'll work out for you. Way above my grade though for any other suggestions I did manage to forge weld some of my stainless foil cladding on some CPM3V last weekend were I missed coating a bit of it in talc.... not quite the same though!

Is the argon/inert gas bath the only way to forge weld the stainless? I mentioned earlier that I have a large stockpile of stainless restaurant tables, cabinets, etc. Mostly for HHO (hydrogen and oxygen fuel from electrolysis of water) but, would be cool to forge some demascus with it.

@TyrellKnifeworks

3 ай бұрын

That type of stainless is extremely unlikely to hardenable steel. There’s really no reason for table and cabinets to be hardened so it’s probably just 304 stainless or something similar. Argon isn’t the only way but some kind of insert has certainly helps. Thanks for watching

@@TyrellKnifeworks 🤔 I have a piece titanium cooling pipe, maybe that would be able to be forge welded in as a core for the edge? Be seriously interested in using oddball materials for different projects, and, not just knives. I was just watching a blacksmithing video of a livestream and a guy in the chat needs knee replacement, jokingly we were talking about making him a stainless demascus knee🤣, but, it's actually not entirely impossible, forge it close, get it machined, have it sterilized, and whalla.

If one had a strong enough induction forge would it be better to use than a gas forge for stainless damascus?

@TyrellKnifeworks

No, it would be worse. Induction forges have very localized heat. You need a constant and consistent heat. The propane forge is much better. Thanks for watching.

Can you do bronze damascus or titanium damascus/timascus

@TyrellKnifeworks

Bronze damascus isn't that hard, it's basically the same as the silver I did for the last katana build (same temps and process). The titanium damascus is probably a no. That requires almost lab-like conditions and not something you can do in a home shop. Thanks for watching.
