Knife Blade Materials

We produce ASTM/ASME Grade 304, Grade 304L,304h, 316, 316L, 316H, 316TI, 321, 321H, 309S, 309H, 310S, 310H, 410S, 2205, 904L, 2507, 254, gh3030, 625, 253MA, S30815, 317L, Type 317, 316lN, 8020, 800, 800H, C276, S32304 and others special requirement stainless steel grade.

The added benefit of utilizing stainless steel is addition of chromium and other alloying elements that enhance corrosion resistance. Stainless steel knives are usually made out of ferritic or martensitic stainless steels. Grades corresponding to 420 and 440 are frequently used for knife making.

The carbon content and lean alloy make this a shallow hardening steel with a quenched hardness between Rc depending on exact carbon content. This steel is particularly suited to applications the place energy and impact resistance is valued above all other concerns and will produce blades of virtually legendary toughness.

Tool steels are, for probably the most half, carbon steels that have additional alloying components that enhance their mechanical properties. These alloying components often improve the steel’s corrosion resistance as properly, though not to the level of a stainless steel. The 420j2 stainless steel is a well-liked choice for knife manufacturers. 420j2 chrome steel incorporates medium high quality carbon content material.

Alloy steels that have additions to make them corrosion-resistant are labeled stainless steels, and these are the steels most incessantly used in making knife blades. Tool steels are a very popular choice for making knives.

With a high degree of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, it does most every thing quite well. But it doesn’t have nice wear resistance and thus doesn’t hold an edge notably well.

Choosing A Knife

CPM-T440V is extensively utilized by customized knifemakers and is slowly finding its method into high-end manufacturing unit knives. .504.01.20154CM – 154CM is a really excessive carbon chrome steel with the addition of Molybdenum. Because 154CM supplies higher edge retention than normal cutlery (stainless) steels, it’s a good selection for blades that require heavier cutting applications. Nickel – improves toughness, hardenability and corrosion resistance.

Knives At Rei

It has good corrosion resistance in salt-free atmospheres and in most industrial environments. It is immune to many chemical compounds and family cleaners; and, additionally it is a more durable metal in comparison with the 440 grades. If you’re in search of all all-round greatest knife metal, you’d be onerous-pressed to seek out one higher than Bohler Uddeholm M390.
