little question

[skyknife]

Hello guys

A few years ago, Idahoskunk compared the tensile strength of infi with the tensile strength of 01 steel (2150mpa at 60 HRC). He said infi would rival 01 regarding to its tensile strength. But 2150mpa is lower than the average value for steels with a hardness around 60 HRC which lies around 2200-2250 mpa. This would mean that most steels with 60 HRC would be better in lateral strength (if the steel is not too brittle). Does anyone know whether his statement was correct?

You lost me at hello.

I was able to follow a bit further... He lost me after "guys".

I didn't understand it at all - so I reported his post to the Mod's.

What makes INFI special is not any singular quality, it is it's incredible balance across all of the material properties that are important to a hard-use fixed blade.

There are a few excellent older threads that go into the details to the molecular composition level, and the tests. I am too lazy to dig them out myself, but I am sure that there are a few hogs here that will chime in and feed your thirst for knowledge (which I recommend you accompany with a thirst for booze).

Although piglatin is my first language, I am familiar with most forms of English and even speak perfect conversational Texan.

Due to my extensive linguistic abilities I was able to determine that the OP is inquiring about the lateral strength of INFI as compared to O1.

I can hereby certify that INFI does, indeed have superb lateral strength. Rockwell hardness is a variable, but only one of many. Heat-treatment has far more to do with the performance of the steel than the properties of the steel. Such a comparison is overly simplistic to say the least.

LVC will prolly jump in and get complex with the OP, but I have beer to drink.

This is my .278" thick Bama Clay NMFBM flexing during use
I was batoning a nice piece of dried Mesquite.

This satisfies my needs.

skyknife,

The tensile strength of INFI is actually due to the coagulation of the carbides and ionic properties of the cohesion bonds during the sturmicular ferlistation.

O1 tool steel doesn't do that.

I could not believe the .278" NMFBM would flex.
Here she is, finishing her job.

Thanks Azwelke!

^^^^^^^^^^^ that would be easier to understand if you wouldn't mind translating it into piglatin. Thanks

 

[13ninjas]

Oh that? I made it up. Sound pretty good?

Sorry, wasn't trying to get ya. Just giving skyknife a hard time for posting a bunch of fancy words most of us don't fully comprehend.

 

[kdstrick]

heehee... kidding, man. Good stuff. ^

c'mon guys, not all of us here are abecedarian, Tensile strength is indicated by the maxima of a stress-strain curve and, in general, indicates when necking will occur. As it is an intensive property, its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen. It is, however, dependent on the preparation of the specimen and the temperature of the test environment and material.

I'm just not too familiar with 01 steel however, therefore this gowpen of an observation on my part is at best can be considered adoxography of a capernoited gongoozler who suffers from hamartithia. And by all means not a charaintism.

I think its likely.

Volk, I am impressed.

Wearing out my websters, but still impressed

Thank you good sir, I'm filled with Honorificabilitudinitatibus of your blandiloquent praise.
