  2. Hardened steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardened_steel

    This is the most common state for finished articles such as tools and machine parts. In contrast, the same steel composition in annealed state is softer, as required for forming and machining. Depending on the temperature and composition of the steel, it can be hardened or softened. To make steel harder, it must be heated to very high temperatures.

  3. Knife sharpening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_sharpening

    Knife sharpening is the process of making a knife or similar tool sharp by grinding against a hard, rough surface, typically a stone, [1] or a flexible surface with hard particles, such as sandpaper. Additionally, a leather razor strop , or strop, is often used to straighten and polish an edge.

  4. Differential heat treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_heat_treatment

    This process is often used for knife making, by heating only the edge of a previously quenched and tempered blade. When edge turns the proper color temperature, it is quenched, hardening only the edge, but leaving most of the rest of the blade at the lower hardness. The knife is then tempered again to produce the final differential hardness. [16]

  5. Hardening (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardening_(metallurgy)

    Material hardening is required for many applications: Machine cutting tools (drill bits, taps, lathe tools) need be much harder than the material they are operating on in order to be effective. Knife blades – a high hardness blade keeps a sharp edge. Bearings – necessary to have a very hard surface that will withstand continued stresses.

    The pig iron contains more than 2% carbon. The high-carbon steel has about 1–1.5% carbon while the low-carbon iron contains about 0.2%. Steel that has a carbon content between the high and low carbon steel is called bu-kera, which is often re-smelted with the pig iron to make saga-hagane, containing roughly 0.7% carbon. Most of the ...

    1095, a popular high-carbon steel for knives; it is harder but more brittle than lower-carbon steels such as 1055, 1060, 1070, and 1080. It has a carbon content of 0.90-1.03% [7] Many older pocket knives and kitchen knives were made of 1095. With a good heat treat, the high carbon 1095 and O-1 tool steels can make excellent knives.

  8. Knife making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_making

    Engraving a knife. Knife making is the process of manufacturing a knife by any one or a combination of processes: stock removal, forging to shape, welded lamination or investment cast. [1] Typical metals used come from the carbon steel, tool, or stainless steel families. Primitive knives have been made from bronze, copper, brass, iron, obsidian ...

  9. Case-hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-hardening

    Case-hardening or carburization is the process of introducing carbon to the surface of a low-carbon iron, or more commonly a low-carbon steel object, in order to harden the surface. Iron which has a carbon content greater than ~0.02% is known as steel .
