He said he will see if he can contribute but has not committed to anything.
I don’t have any 3v thick enough. I’ll get some on my next order, and do,Rc58,60,and 63.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:

Sure it can.Is this something that can be advantageous in steels like z-wear or 4V? Is it worth experimenting with?
Sure it can.
I do not own a metallurgical testing facility. We are currently performing charpy impact toughness for the mutual benefit of all if samples can be provided in the condition specified in this thread. The high level requirements are in the first post of this thread. We did report results previously for CPM-154 but only for one heat treatment.Larrin, do you do testing?
I got some samples of elmax, s35vn and cpm 154 I'd like tested.
Here is an example of a set of heat treatments that could be performed with AEB-L:

Do you need 3v? I have a big block and could bandsaw off a few slices for you.I don’t have any 3v thick enough. I’ll get some on my next order, and do,Rc58,60,and 63.
That is correct. You would still have to take the width slightly oversized before heat treating because the finish matters on those sides.Before I screw up a bunch of coupons, I just wanna be sure I'm on the right track. The test pieces need to be .098" X .394" X 2.165" + or - .003" with a 150 grit or better finish. If I'm off, please correct me. I'll do the length & width before H/T and grind them to final thickness after.
As long as it is sufficiently far from the center. The anvils have a 40mm spacing so it needs to be outside that.One more thing Larrin. Will a number stamped on the end with the hole be detrimental? It sure will help keep everything sorted out.
Anything is possible if we believe hard enough.Is there any possibility that some steel makers or commercial knife makers might be willing to donate ready-to-test steel samples for this testing?
This is what I think we have on offer:Is there a complete list of all the alloys that are being donated? I will provide some missing alloys.

Yes the orientation relative to the rolling direction is very important.That would work.
Edit. I think there is a requirement in regards to rolling direction for samples.
