Sandvik now has a website up for their knife steels. It is quite in depth and provides much more information than I thought it would: http://www.smt.sandvik.com/hardeningguide

Also, 12C27 is now available from Admiral. This is especially good news because it is available in the 5/32" and 3/16" sizes, which 13C26 isn't, so there is a stainless steel available with high edge stability and toughness in thicker sizes. It's too bad it isn't available in 1/4".
 
A good reference ! I see they have a continuous casting mill ,neat stuff !
 
Thanks Larrin. Looks like Good Boogie. I'll bookmark it.
The old one was a bit funky.
 
Glad you like it guys.

If any of you bumped into a Sandvik guy at Blade it's a good chance it was me. I work with, among other things, technical support concerning knife steels for Sandvik. I work from our head office in Sandviken, Sweden.

I have been hanging around here on the forums for a while to see what aspects of the steels that people find interesting. I took this to the hardening guide in order to convey what the "Sandvik way" is and why we think the way we do.

The guide have several purposes. Training our own sales people, providing H/T data for our customers and providing a guide to choose suitable grade and HRC with a specific application in question. Apart from that I decided to make it public for anyone to view, knowing how hungry for knowledge some of you are out there ;).

This is a version 1.0 and there are some additional stuff coming. A troubleshooting guide for hardening and tempering, some corrosion reports that shows the range of our grades in a standardized salt spray test, better printable pages and a bunch of other minor additions.

Do you guys have any requests when it comes to the content of this guide? Anything significant missing? What would you like to see (more of)?

Thank you !! As the forum metallurgist I often get questions about HT or performance and some steel makers websites are difficult to deal with . Your information is welcome !
 
I can't get the link to work. :confused:

Gotta say, though, that if Larrin's psyched about 12C27, I'm definitely intrigued!

13C26 and 19C27 have been very good to me.

Hmm, the link works for me. I hope it works out for you.

I'm happy you like the 13C26 and 19C27. 12C27 is our most versitile knife steel and it is the most commonly used grade we have.
