cracked damascus?? have a look.....

Wee Babee, There are cold shuts all over that girl. Isnt damascus fun?

OK I posted this comment on the blade that had cold shuts now you switch photos on me. That piece is roasted like a thanksgiving turkey!
 
Ouch, That looks like it hurt. Try the procedure Bruce recommended in the previous post. I've made several damascus billits using his methodology - works great (so far I've just been able to chew one up on the mill) but that was my fault.

nwindian....which post are you talking about? I didn't see anything.......
 
It appears to me that the steel got too hot before it was hit. I have had it happen to me once (I watch the high heat very close since then). I was using 52100 and 15N20 for the mix. The steel was almost a white hot on the end and that end looked like the pictures of yours. I still have it laying around to remind me. :)
