Call for Charpy toughness samples

JTknives said:
Hey larrin I’m going to be doing some thin A2 knives for the wife. I would be happy to bust out a handful of coupons for testing. I also can do some D2 at the same time with a pre quench and cryo. Is there any interest in somthing as extream as S5? Been tossing around the idea of getting a stick of it to forge out.

Please, use that S5 and send Larrin some coupons! Allegedly it can reach 60hrc with great toughness, so worth a try!:)

All of those would be great!
 
Ok sounds good. I will get the S5 ordered. I will do a bit of experimenting with It to see what I can push it to.
 
I ordered A2, S35VN, and more aeb-l (for higher harness samples.) I also ordered 1084 and 1095 for samples, rather than grinding down my 3/16” stock.
 
I’m going to have to forge down the S5 as it only seams to come on round stock
 
Does anyone have some 3v they want to donate for testing? AKS is out. I’ll heat treat it,

How much do you need? What thickness
I got mine from Aldo.
I have some other stuff that I can send as well. CPM-M4, A2, M2, new 15n20, CruF-V and maybe a couple of others.

M2 is done in the last batch. I have A2 coming. I already cut out the 15n20, and CFV is already tested. I think Kuraki was doing the M4. The aeb-l I ordered arrived today to see how much toughness drops off with higher hardness.

If you can spare enough 3v for 12 coupons at 10mmx55mmx0.100” thick, that would be great. I’ll pay for it, plus shipping. I plan to do four hardnesses from Rc58-Rc62/63. I need three coupons for each condition (12 in total) but I can cut them out from a solid bar as long as there is enough steel.
 
I have a big block of 3V but it would have to be sliced off in the saw.

I’ll give you a call tomorrow. I’ll send you my address in the morning too. This is much appreciated.


I’m heat treating a bunch of coupons this weekend, so I’ll provide a list for everyone with what’s done and being sent to DevinT,
 
Hugo, I’ve got the heat treat sorted out for the v4e and a8mod. I’m doing them tonight. I’m having a hard time finding info on the ultra fort steel and nz3. I’m pretty sure you sent me the info months ago, but I can’t find that email. Could you send it to me again please? My email is wjkrywko@gmail.com. Thanks again for this steel.

Warren
