The Hardness of Bronze Knife

The high corrosion resistance, ductility is also very strong and has good anti-annealing and deformation resistance, polished up more than 0-1, but not to the very extreme degree. Steel plus the sake of 5% chromium, the sawing process is relatively difficult. A-2 is a very special steel, the wear resistance is particularly strong, especially known for good tenacity and polished. Compression steel, so we can not expect it can be segmented smelting, highlight the tenacity it is often preferred as the production of combat bronze tool. Several other A-Series steel is very suitable to be used to make bronze blade. March 20, 2007, in the Auction of Chinese Ceramics and Crafts in New York’s Sotheb, a rare bronze showed up Greek philosophy and aesthetics of light to add a leap of wings.
 Chris Reeve and Phil the Hartsfield both use A-2 Blackjack several bronze knives while the A-2. D-2: high carbon and high chromium tool steel, is the wind hard steel (Air-Hardening steel), an outstanding system of bronze knife steel is widely used cut down the production of bronze knife or hunting bronze knife, often used for cutting steel. Near perfect wear resistance, even if the steel is fully annealed, the wear resistance is still able to retain. A piece of Chinese bronze of the Han Dynasty had shocked the world. The carbon content up to 1.5% chromium content up to 11.5%, hardness after heat treatment up to HRc60 but relatively Ting malleable weak, D-2, the annealing temperature is higher than the A-2, and can not be true mirror-polished surface, it has a drawback that is, if to do high-gloss surface treatment, its surface will appear orange peel-like spalling.
D-2 is sometimes called "semi-stainless steel but less than the degree of stainless steel, carbon steel rust resistance than the above-mentioned are also very good polish. Bob Dozier love, D-2. L-6: the case of hard oil level (Oil-Hardening types) tool steel is used for blade steel, the most commonly used in the logging tool, in addition to generally difficult to see the other places use it. Hardness after heat treatment to achieve HRc57, bronze blades for most cutting purposes, especially rewind-shaped bronze blade is especially suitable. Which is characterized by tough and holds an edge are good, but easy to rust, which is a common problem of the simple carbon steel. L-7 and it is very similar, but higher carbon content. Human form bronze are very rare.
 And 0-1, L-6 is a favorite of forging work. If you do not care about the cost, which is one of the best choice of the system of bronze knife, especially the tough requirements of the bronze tool. M-2: a high-speed steel and can withstand very high temperatures, so the use of cutting work in high temperatures, used bronze knives, some challenging, but can be completed prior to the annealing of the surface of the bronze blade treatment. M-2 to maintain and better than the D-2 bronze blade, but it is more brittle, it is not suitable for large-scale bronze tool. It can reach very excellent edge and tenacity of course, not known for tough steel, but better than stainless steel, polished degree than stainless steel. You are not able to see portrait bronze in the market.
Benchmade in the AFCK series used in the M-2. W-2: high-carbon tool steel has been ordered for W-hard steel for water (Water-Hardening Steel), the lowest price in the tool steel. W-2 steel heat treated up to supreme hardness (HRc65,) and easy local hardening to the neighboring parts of the hard wear, soft, easy processing, the processing is very good, so versatile. W-2 corrosion resistance was low, so the surface of steel multi-coating protection. The practical bronze are the most common ones.   This steel containing 0.2% vanadium, can be used for processing is quite tough and polished bronze blade. Most of the file W-1 (a W-2 is very similar bronze dragon steel, but the W-1 does not contain vanadium). Vascowear: a very expensive, hard to find high-vanadium steel, the processing is very difficult, but surprisingly good abrasion resistance.
