Powder steel S390 MICROCLEAN

Powder steel S390 MICROCLEAN is a powder metallurgical high-speed steel of the third generation, which is made from exceptionally clean finely dispersed powder produced at a modern plant for the production of high-quality powder steels BÖHLER in Kapfenberg, Austria.

This alloy is expensive, belongs to the premium class with high hardness and complex mechanical and heat treatment. As a result, its hardness can reach up to 67-70 units according to Rockwell, which is distinguished by an aggressive cut and high operational characteristics.

Powder steel S390 is widely used for the production of high-performance tools (for example, in the automotive industry - clutches, camshaft flywheels; in metal cutting - drilling, thread cutting, gear cutting tools, broaching and broaching, end mills, saws; in cold metal working - various types of spindles thread knurling tools, etc.), i.e., where the high precision of the components is important, as well as the stability and duration of its use, therefore, the composition contains many alloying elements, the action of which is aimed at preserving the properties of steel in any conditions.

Also, S390 steel has proven itself in knife production, although not so long ago. From S390 steel, you can buy high-quality and reliable working and hunting knives of medium and small size, which will show themselves perfectly in cutting strong materials, for example, tendons and skins when processing game. Similar characteristics will be relevant for professional kitchen knives.

The production process of powder steel S390 MICROCLEAN looks like this:

The chemical composition of S390 MICROCLEAN steel is as follows:

• Carbon (C) is responsible for strength after heat treatment, i.e. provides hardness and strength;
• Chromium (Cr) - increases the hardening ability of steel, has a positive effect on corrosion resistance. In this alloy, the chromium content is small, so the knife blade requires care to protect it from rust. Chromium also increases wear resistance;
• Molybdenum (Mo) - allows you to increase the melting point, therefore, and preserve the quality of the blade at elevated temperatures. At the same time, the sword does not become fragile and fragile, with increased hardness - the steel becomes more elastic, resistance to chemical aggressive substances increases;
• Vanadium (V) – its presence indicates an increase in elasticity, wear resistance, and also provides inertness to chemical influences;
• Tungsten (W) - the high melting point of tungsten increases the stability of steel at high temperatures. It is the main alloying element of high-speed cutters;
• Cobalt (Co) is an expensive alloying additive that has a positive effect on heat resistance, also increases the hardness and wear resistance of the metal, while these parameters are preserved at high temperatures and mechanical loads.

Thus, the advantages became as follows:

• high red resistance, the steel behaves well during tempering, while it works without problems even at low temperatures;
• very high wear resistance;
• excellent compressive strength;
• high viscosity; impact properties;
• knives made of S390 steel have good machinability indicators, for example, grinding;
• good fatigue properties.

There are fewer disadvantages, but they are still there:

• corrosion resistance is not at the highest level, so the knife needs additional care, albeit minimal - wipe with petroleum jelly, which is sold in any pharmacy;
• high price due to the complexity of steel production.

A knife made of powder steel S390 Microclean is certainly not a cheap pleasure, but it is worth it and will be useful both for professional activities and for active hobbies, whether it is hunting, fishing, tourism or cooking.

 Ironwood - iron wood - handmade knives

Ironwood - Ironwood

In nature, ironwood is extremely rare, so it occupies an honorable place in the Red Book. However, in its properties, each iron tree is not inferior to the density of cast iron. Its bark can withstand fire from firearms, but at the same time it sinks hopelessly in water. It should be noted that this is not a separate class of trees, but a whole group collected from different species. It includes several dozen species of plants with unusually dense wood. They can be found on every continent. Moreover, raw materials are used both in the industrial industry and in medical practice.

What's special about these trees?

It is quite difficult to recognize the “stone” species of a perennial plant with the naked eye. Especially if they are on the verge of extinction. However, they are characterized by the following features:

• the age of such centenarians is at least 2 hundred years;
• wood fiber is resistant to corrosion processes and does not deteriorate under the influence of strong acids;
• the bark contains many tannins that protect their “hosts” from all kinds of parasites, as well as from rot fungus;
• the log will definitely go under water, since the density of the wood is 1 t/m³, taking into account the humidity of 12%, for this reason such species grow quite slowly;
• the height of each exceeds 25 meters, and the girth of the trunk reaches more than 200 cm.

All these properties are necessary for ironwood to survive in the harshest climatic conditions. Sudden temperature changes in Russia, African drought or humid European climate cannot harm this natural phenomenon. These types of trees adapt well to any unfavorable environment. To do this, they are equipped with a considerable number of devices, ranging from the unique structure of the trunk/roots to the chemical composition of the bark. In this regard, they are widely used in production:

• furniture;
• building structures;
• cars;
• cosmetics;
• decorative elements;
• underwater technology

Mammoth Tusk: A gem mined in permafrost

 Most of our contemporaries are mammoths - "monsters, fierce, fierce, huge..." A large, disproportionately built elephant. A ferocious beast, densely overgrown with dense shiny or long brown and patchy wool. A four-legged hero with heavy tusks, who fearlessly chases polar bears. Or runs confusedly from a handful of crazy bipeds... This is what a mammoth is like in a performance by artists from science.
Are mammoths extinct?

It is believed that mammoths lived as long ago as dinosaurs. However, scientists have reliably established that the last herds of mammoths lived on Wrangel Island about three and a half millennia ago. The Pyramid of Cheops was already more than a thousand years old at that time. Moses was preparing his tribesmen for a forty-year dessert trip. The Mediterranean volcano Santorini, having exploded, buried the Mycenaean civilization for a hundred years.

These are herds; certain families of mammoths, according to the assurances of lovers of polar hunting solitude, exist safely to this day. Whether it is so or not is not known for sure. However, there is no doubt that in the past, mammoths lived everywhere in Europe, Asia, and America.

Permafrost is the best refrigerator for mammoth bone

Cemeteries of mammoth bones are found everywhere: in France, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine. But only where the earth has been in a state of permafrost for thousands of years, the mammoth tusk is preserved in its original (or almost original) form. One of the largest burial grounds in the world is Yakutia, in which a large amount of this highly valuable material is still mined annually. According to the estimates of experts in the North Yakutsk province, potential resources can amount to about 450 thousand tons.

Humans at all times highly valued the fossil mammoth tusk. Dense, strong, massive, often white, usually yellowish, often colored with mineral salts in natural colors, mammoth bone has been used as a raw material for bone carving for many centuries.

Material that is well appreciated by kings and rulers all over the world!

Tsar Oleksii Mykhailovych, the father of Peter the Great, established a state monopoly on mammoth bone back in the middle of the seventeenth century. On his initiative, the extraction and supply of mammoth tusks to bone-cutting workshops in Kholmogory and Moscow (Armory Chamber) became sustainable.

Peter the First, fond of handicrafts, carved a snuff box from mammoth bone with his own hands. Foreign craftsmen also liked the material: among the goods traditionally delivered from Russia to the West, there was always a place for the bone of an extinct animal.

The only one allowed

Today, mammoth tusk is the only high-value bone material allowed for extraction and use. Elephant tusk, the well-known ivory, has been classified as prohibited materials. Similar decisions were made regarding the tooth of the sperm whale (in connection with the complete refusal to hunt whales) and the walrus tusk (which is mined by the northern peoples in small quantities).

Elk antler and tsivka (tubular femur of large animals) are not able to give the visual effect produced by mammoth bone products. The inner glow of figurines, warm shades of a living body, unparalleled plasticity of the smallest details - these are just some of the advantages inherent in mammoth tusk.

Universality, nobility, uniqueness

The physical qualities of the massif of mammoth tusk are unique. Modern technologies are only trying to create substances that are close to natural mammoth bone in terms of properties. Allowing the finest processing of details, giving the opportunity to create the illusion of soft draperies of clothes that naturally fall, the mammoth tusk has deservedly become the most sought-after material for bone carving.

Mammoth tusk of uniform structure is in particular demand. The uniformity of the color of the bone array, the absence of cracks and other defects allows the artist to create regardless of the quality of the material. However, the integrity of the massif of mammoth bone is now rare, and the defects of the material force the artist to be more inventive in the composition, which, as a result, turns into an additional dignity in the sculpture.
