question about Steel!

[Gator97]

No, never seen, I just skimmed through it, pardon, project deadlines are very pressing at work Seems like there's 6 modules and based on the names I have no clue which one would be related to carbide formation calculations.
If you can give me some hints, I'll be very happy to attempt making the similar calc.

I would say ternary module, since you at least have to have Fe + C + Cr to have stainless steel.

I don't know if the JMATPRO would also be something you want to look into http://www.calphad.com/jmatpro.html

Bookmarked both. I still have to finish steel chart 3.0.
And work on next version of steel chart android app.
I guess somewhere in between I'll read up on all that. If you don't mind, I'll could certainly use your help though

I have 2 knives made of it and like them fine. Not outstanding by any means, but very similar to 420 HC according to this chart: http://www.agrussell.com/Steel_Guide/a/73/ , and if heat treated properly should reach the same hardness rating.

BTW, the first number in the steel name (5Cr15MoV), 5, is the carbon content; the number after Cr, 15, is the chromium content; so it is, in fact, a stainless variant.
