Features of steel N690

Martensitic alloy steel N690 is produced by the Vohleg-Uddeholm Gmbh&C corporation, which has its enterprises in Austria, Germany, South and North America. Another name for the alloy is Austrian cobalt stainless steel. Due to its high quality and operational characteristics and advantages, it is successfully implemented in many countries of the world for the manufacture of knives and other purposes.
Steel is produced by electroslag smelting technology. It has a uniformly distributed carbide structure of the crystal lattice in the absence of harmful impurities. As a result of heat treatment and forging, the impact toughness of the material increases without loss of hardness. The presence of alloying additives in the chemical composition of steel ensures resistance to corrosion.

Field of application
Steel is recognized as a good material for serial production of long-range and tactical knives, the technical characteristics of which allow operation in difficult and extreme conditions. Blades made of N690 steel are able to withstand not only longitudinal, but also strong lateral loads when acting on bends and twists.
Due to its resistance to corrosion and aggressive environments, steel is used in the manufacture of diving knives, harpoons for spearfishing and other sports equipment.
This steel is used in the manufacture of knives by such well-known European brands as Vokeg, Spyderco, Vepshmade and Echthema Ratio. Manufactured blades have excellent cutting properties, are strong, durable, sharpen well and hold an edge. The presence of alloying elements in the composition ensured high corrosion resistance while maintaining plasticity. If necessary, there is a possibility of thermal hardening up to 60 NKR.

The technical and physical characteristics of the alloy allow it to be used in mechanical engineering for the manufacture of tools, milling cutters, drills, parts of bearings and relevant components operating under high mechanical loads. The steel is highly wear resistant and can be heat treated.
Resistance to the effects of moisture and chemicals allows the use of steel in the food and pharmaceutical industry for the manufacture of cutting tools and grinders. At the same time, the ecological purity of the material and the complete absence of impurities are taken into account.
ANALOGUES
In terms of its composition, steel N690 is a close analogue of Russian steel 95X18, German X102SgMo17, Japanese / (3-10 and A115-10, French 2100СО17, American 440 С. In Sweden, an analogue of Sandvic 12С27 is produced).
Storage
Steel N690 contains:
■ 1.08% of carbon (C), which gives the material hardness and increases strength;
■ 17.3% chromium (Cg) to obtain anti-corrosion properties, increase wear resistance and change hardening conditions;
■ 1.1% molybdenum (Mo) to reduce brittleness, increase plasticity and resistance to high temperatures;
■ 0.1% vanadium (V) to increase metal elasticity and inertness to aggressive media;
■ 1.5% cobalt (C) increases heat resistance and improves mechanical properties;
■ 0.4% manganese (Mp) increases hardness;
■ 0.4% silicon (5|) to improve alloy stability and increase wear resistance.
The presence of cobalt in the chemical composition of the metal makes the crystal structure of N690 more uniform and resistant to mechanical loads.

PROS AND CONS OF N690 STEEL FOR KNIVES
The use of Austrian steel N690 allows the production of high-quality stainless knives for various purposes. Due to its physical and technical properties, the material is well processed, capable of heat treatment, is not prone to corrosion and is sold at an affordable price.
5*ee1 N690 is one of the best alloys for making beautiful wear-resistant blades. Simple sharpening and long-term preservation of the sharpness of the edge make use simple and convenient. You will never regret buying or making a knife from this steel.

Types of supplies
The high quality of Wohler N690 steel is ensured by the use of a unique rolling technology developed by the manufacturer. Metal sheets are subjected to repeated hot processing with rolling in the longitudinal and transverse directions. After that, the material is cold cut into strips.
N690 steel is supplied to the rolled metal market in the form of steel strips 3-5 mm thick, 20-50 mm wide and 250 to 1000 mm long, especially for the manufacture of knives. The cross-section of the strips is rectangular or with a prepared longitudinal bevel, which eliminates the need for blacksmithing when making the blade. The steel may or may not have previous heat treatment.
All of this is very convenient, as it does not require operations to cut large sheets, which allows you to accurately determine the amount of necessary material and reduces the amount of waste.
Strips are sold individually. The price depends on the geometric dimensions of the product, thicknesses and types of preliminary factory processing. For the products of the metalworking industry, we supply a sheet 2-8 mm thick, the size stated in the contract. If necessary, you can order any analogue of steels of type N690. Sheet metal is sold by weight.

It is worth remembering that when using knife for its intended purpose and careful handling, than it will serve you for a very, very long time.

Well, you can buy a knife made of powder steel on our website knife.net.ua or by contacting us by phone +380961711010

Maple leaf

A cap is a growth on a tree trunk, it has a much denser structure with a completely unique cut pattern.

The cap has high strength, the wood of the cap does not burn well, is well processed and polished.

The dimensions of the blanks are approximately 135-45-30 mm.

Bars of stabilized wood are great for creating standard through-mount and countersunk knife handles.
Also, stabilized maple sap is excellent for carving, creating miniatures, jewelry, as well as various pendants, amulets, toys and crafts.
Both experienced craftsmen and beginners are comfortable working with a stabilized maple head.
Stabilized wood of any color is straight, even bars of real wood - kapa maple impregnated with a special composition.
The wood stabilizer completely fills all small pores, thanks to which all the air and moisture come out of the wood, turning it into a polymerized bar of stabilized Karelian birch, only with improved properties.

Stabilized wood is many times heavier and much denser. It is not exposed to moisture, does not change its color under sunlight, remaining a much stronger and more reliable material.
All this makes stabilization an ideal material for creating objects that are exposed to all physical and climatic stresses - knife handles, cutters and various tools.

Stabilized maple sap is perfectly sanded, giving a surface as smooth as glass or stone. Without a coating in dry form, the stabilized bars have a faded appearance, but under the finishing compositions their bright deep texture is revealed.

For its unique beauty, the cap is called wooden malachite!

In general, the smaller the pattern and the larger the cap, the more expensive it is.

The value of this unique material is told by a historical fact given in the book "Kapova Skrynka" (author Nadiya Perminova): "... in 1837, up to fifty rubles were paid for a cap growth of twenty pounds (a little more than 8 kg) ... the same amount was estimated thoroughbred bull at an agricultural exhibition.

Today, on the world market, the price of veneered wood (solid and veneer) is many times higher than the price of any other, including: oak, elm, walnut, mahogany and any exotic species.

The unique combination of material properties, limited stocks and the uniqueness of the cap pattern in each product ultimately determined the universally recognized, high aesthetic value and corresponding consumer price of products made of this wood, which is used in the decoration of the most luxurious interiors.
