Most knife makers say something like this

soak at 1750-1850 10 minutes remove and air cool or oil quench. temper twice at 400 600 degrees f. RC 45-48

Making armor (sheet steel), we heat it to a orange, maybe a little yellow, and quench in oil, no temper.

What material is the better conductor of heat cold stainless steel ceramic or plastic?

The better conductor is stainless steel.


Can stainless steel spark when hit by stainless steel?

Yes, stainless steel can spark when hit by stainless steel if there is a high amount of force involved. This can happen because of the friction generated between the two pieces of stainless steel, causing sparks due to the heat produced. It is important to use caution when working with stainless steel to avoid this situation.


Do All stainless steel cooking pots discolor?

All stainless steel cooking pots do discolor but you can keep them looking shiny and new with a cheap cleanser called The Barkeeper's Friend.Yes, it is common for stainless steel cooking pots to discolor from the heat.


Why do they not make heat exchangers out of stainless steel to help deter corrosion and tube breakthrough?

Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers are produced and distributed by Triangle Tube Products . Although stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it is also more expensive and has a lower coefficient of heat (transfers less heat) than other metals. So, like most things in life, it's a trade-off between co$t, performance, and longevity. Hope this helps ... If resistence to corrosion is the main priority, Titanium is used.


Is brushed satin nickel and stainless steel the same type of metal?

No. One is nickel, usually plated over a different base metal. The other is stainless steel. The object is usually made just of the stainless steel, with no plating. They can look similar in appearance, but the nickel plating can eventually wear off.

Diffence between ferritic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel?

Ferritic stainless steel are magnetic, containing no nickel and not hardened by heat treatment. For example 409 and 430 stainless steel Martensitic stainless steel are also magnetic and containing no nickel but hardened by heat treatment. For example 410 and 420 stainless steel

Are stainless steel ovens the best for insulating items in the oven?

Stainless steel ovens are great for insulation, as they can easily absorb plenty of heat.


Is the main element in steel?

Steel is almost all iron. It has a touch of carbon in it (to make the iron turn into steel) and can have bits of this and that to produce an alloy that is specific to a task. Some cobalt and heat treating will get it really hard and wear resistant. Add 11% or so of chromium and presto! you'll get stainless steel. Get the lowdown by using the link to our friends at Wikipedia. The science of steel is a broad and deeply involved topic from alloys to heat treating. Life as we know it would not be the same without steel.
