Damascus and Damasteel. Let's understand the differences and nuances.

 

People who are looking for a Damascus steel blade for themselves often notice another steel called Damasteel in search filters . What is the difference between this steel and ordinary Damascus? Short answer: The difference is in the production process and, as a result, other properties. We will consider these points in more detail below.

Traditional Damascus steel.

In the traditional process of creating Damascus steel, a blacksmith welds and presses two or more types of steel into layers. In forging, steel is bent repeatedly until there are 100 or more layers in the workpiece . The workpiece is heated, beaten, and folded many times. The precise patterns on the blade are created by twisting, folding and pulling the workpiece. 

Overall, this process creates a very strong blade, but its durability is due to the steel alloys that are initially chosen. Depending on the steel used, Damascus may or may not be stainless. To prevent Damascus steel from rusting, all steel included in the package must contain at least 14% chromium . 

The pattern in Damascus steel is only revealed visually when the steel is cleaned, prepared and acid etched. The two types of steel may react differently to oxidation.

Damasteel

Damasteel begins with a steel production process using gas atomization. Molten steel is passed through a nozzle and sprayed. The resulting fine steel powder particles have an ideal spherical shape with a high level of purity and an even distribution of carbides. 

This powder is then collected into a canister, which is sealed, compacted and bound using a process called hot isostatic pressing (HIP) . After the HIP process, the size of the steel material is reduced by approximately 30%. The steel has no welds, making it structurally extremely strong.

After this, the capsule is forged, and rolled in a special way to obtain different patterns. This patterning phase is very similar in both steels. Damasteel comes in a wide range and includes various complex patterns: rose, raindrops and many others.

Advantages of Damasteel steel

The advantage of the gas atomization and HIP process is that Damasteel contains fewer impurities than traditional Damascus steel.

Damasteel uses RWL34 and PMC27 steels . RWL34 is a Swedish-made knife steel named after the legendary knife of Robert Bob Loveless . It is most similar to CPM 154 and chemically similar to ATS 34.

When etched, RWL 34 appears as a lighter color pattern in the overall pattern. The second steel in Damascus steel is stainless PMC27, which is also produced in Sweden. Etching produces a darker pattern. Both of these composite steels are manufactured using gas atomization and provide improved toughness and edge retention compared to conventional steels.

Conclusion

Overall, both traditional Damascus and Damasteel have the beauty and uniqueness that makes this material famous. Damasteel, however, may be a better option if you are looking for high-performance Damascus, or are interested in stainless properties. Damasteel has a slightly different pattern than traditional damask, and the resulting visual styles are a distinctive feature.


CARBON - KNIFE HANDLES FROM THIS PREMIUM MATERIAL


One of the most prestigious and expensive materials for knife handles, in addition to titanium and expensive woods, is a type of carbon fiber, the so-called "carbon". The material is valued for its exceptional lightness, strength and aesthetic beauty.




Carbon (from the English carbon - carbon) is a polymer material with a composite composition, made from interlaced carbon fiber filaments (carbon fibers). These threads are made using epoxy resins. Average material density from 1450 kg/m³ to 2000 kg/m³. The main difference between carbon fiber and other polymers used in the manufacture of knives is its very low weight. It is the weight combined with exceptional strength that gives carbon an advantage over other handle materials: G10 polymer, Micarta, FRN plastic, etc. At the same time, carbon fiber surpasses structural steels in terms of specific strength characteristics. The main qualities of carbon are: high tensile strength, resistance to high temperatures, aggressive environments, slight expansion when heated, high electrical conductivity. Another important feature of carbon fiber is its natural black color obtained during production, which gives it a noble and elite appearance.

 

The basis of the material is carbon fiber threads, with an average thickness of 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter. Carbon fibers are made through a complex heat treatment process. The main fiber (polyacryl, viscose) is initially oxidized in air at 250°C for 24 hours. As a result of oxidation, ladder structures are formed (polymers whose macromolecules are crosslinked in pairs by regular chemical bonds). Then carbonization takes place (the process of enriching the filaments with carbon), which takes place when the fiber is heated in nitrogen or argon at temperatures from 800 to 1500 °C. As a result of carbonization, graphite-like structures (allotropic modifications of carbon) are formed. The heat treatment process ends with graphitization (the formation of graphite in materials in which carbon is contained in a dissolved state or in the form of carbides), it takes place at a temperature of 1600-3000 ° C, in an inert environment. As a result of graphitization, the amount of carbon in the fiber is brought to 99%. In addition to conventional organic fibers, special fibers from phenolic resins, lignin, coal and petroleum pitches can be used to produce carbon filaments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carbon fabrics, in turn, are obtained by weaving threads or ribbons. In the production of these threads, carbon roving is taken as the basis - a bundle of thin continuous carbon fiber filaments with a thickness of 3 microns, formed by carbon atoms. After interlacing, they form a carbon fiber frame. The amount of carbon fiber in a thread is estimated by the number "K" - the number of thousands of elementary carbon fibers. The thinnest and most expensive carbon fiber is 1K, the most common carbon fiber is 3K, there are also carbon fiber threads with K \u003d 6, 12, 24, 48. Fabric made from threads can have a variety of weaving patterns (herringbone, matting, twill weaving, etc.). To give even greater strength to the fabric, carbon threads are laid in layers, each time changing the angle of the direction of weaving. The layers are held together with epoxy resins. This structure of carbon makes it possible to reinforce the fiber with additional elements that strengthen its structure and give it different colors and surface textures. These materials can be various threads, sequins, polymeric materials of different colors.


 

The main methods for manufacturing carbon plates are:

Pressing, in which the fabric is lined in a form, previously lubricated with a so-called release agent, designed to reduce the adhesion of surfaces to each other. They can be soap, wax, etc. The fabric is then impregnated with resin and the excess is removed under vacuum (vacuum molding) or under pressure. After polymerization of the resin, the product takes on a finished look.

Vacuum infusion allows you to create a laminated bag by superimposing layers of tissue on top of each other and vacuum is applied under the layers. Then, a binder is fed through the valve and, under the action of vacuum, it fills the voids and impregnates the carbon fabric.

Vacuum forming is the bonding of layers at high temperatures and then exposure to vacuum to form the volume of the product. This method is one of the cheapest.

Winding method, which consists in winding the impregnated roving on a pre-prepared form. After winding the required number of layers, the mold with the wound fabric is placed in a heating oven and polymerized.

The SMC/BMC method consists of placing the fabric in a mold heated to operating temperature. The mold closes, as a result of which, under pressure, the material spreads into the mold cavity and hardens. At the end of the cycle, the product is removed from the molds us, and its final machining and coloring is carried out.

 

 
 

Carbon fiber is used in various fields. In particular, in aircraft and rocket building, in the production of body parts for cars and motorcycles, household appliances and high-tech research instruments. And for about 20 years, carbon fiber has been widely used in the manufacture of knife handles in the middle and premium segments. At the same time, on folding knives, carbon can be both in the form of overlays on steel liners, and in the form of the only material of the handle, fixed with screws through the bonks.

The carbon used for the manufacture of knives, in addition to its main strength characteristics, must also have a fairly attractive appearance. It is this factor that increases its cost, complicating the production technology and requiring the highest quality raw materials. For sizing the layers, the most expensive and high-quality resins are used, and more expensive equipment, in particular chemical reactors (autoclaves). In addition, the carbon fiber is sandblasted to improve hand grip, which also increases production costs. It must also be remembered that working with carbon requires mandatory respiratory protection and special rooms with good ventilation, and this also leads to an increase in price.

The color palette and texture of carbon used on knives can be varied. Among the varieties of carbon are used:

Mosaic carbon, which can be both plain and multi-colored. Such carbon is used for radius spacers on knives with complex multi-section handles. Several dyeing technologies can be used in this carbon.


 

Marble carbon is a chaotic interlacing of carbon fibers, each of which reflects light differently, which makes it possible to shine from different viewing angles.


 

Carbon Lightning Strike ("lightning strike") with a copper thread in the form of a grid woven into carbon fabric throughout its volume. Outwardly similar to that used in the fuselages of American aircraft to protect against lightning strikes. This is a thin carbon, 3.2 mm thick twill weave. It has a deep and bright pattern.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like any expensive, and at the same time difficult to manufacture material, carbon has a number of disadvantages. In the production of carbon fiber plastics, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the technological parameters, in violation of which the strength properties of products are sharply reduced. To control the quality of products, ultrasonic flaw detection, X-ray and optical holography, as well as acoustic testing can be used. Without them, the manufacturer works “by touch” and may not notice hidden defects. Another serious drawback of CFRPs is their low impact resistance. It is also necessary to remember that carbon fades over time and can significantly lose its main advantage - an attractive appearance. However, despite these shortcomings, carbon is rightfully the premium material for the best knives.
