STAINLESS STEEL 95X18

Stainless steel 95X18 is used in many industries, as it has an optimal ratio between performance and affordable cost. The unspoken name of the alloy is “knife steel”, since it is from this brand that high-quality hunting, tourist, kitchen knives are made, as well as professional cutting tools and structural elements operating under conditions of increased loads.

The main characteristics of 95X18 and features of the chemical composition of the metal

The alloy marking contains letters and numbers indicating the percentage of carbon and the main alloying element. According to GOST, the decoding of the brand is as follows:

• 95 is the average amount of carbon in hundredths of a percent (0.95%).
• X is the name of the main alloying element (in this case it is chromium).
• 18 - approximate percentage of chromium (18%).

Chemical composition in % of steel 95X18 (old 9X18 EI229)
C	0.9 - 1
Si	up to 0.8
Mn	up to 0.8
Ni	up to 0.6
S	up to 0.025
P	up to 0.03
Cr	17 - 19
Ti	up to 0.2
Cu	up to 0.3
Fe	~78

The basis of the chemical composition of 95X18 is three elements - iron, chromium and carbon, which directly affects the properties of the alloy. A large amount of carbon gives the metal increased mechanical strength, and chromium - corrosion resistance. The presence of a small amount of titanium (up to 0.2%) and nickel (up to 0.6%) improves the performance of the alloy and parts made from it.

The main technical characteristics of 95X18 are as follows:

• The hardness of 95X18 Rockwell (HRC) is about 60 units, which indicates the high performance of the material. The blades of the best knives and other cutting tools have a hardness of 58-60 units.
• Permissible stress of steel 95X18 for rupture / tensile - 770 MPa.
• The density of 95X18 at a temperature of +20 degrees is 7750 kg / m3
• The conditional yield strength 95X18 is in the range of 420-770 MPa (depending on the type of rolled products, annealing temperature and steel tempering time).

Steel is produced mainly in the form of a circle, a bar and forged strips of various sizes. Also of particular value are forged elements that are suitable for the manufacture of cutting tools and other parts.

Stainless steel 95X18: applications and foreign analogues

High operational qualities, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength provided the alloy with wide application in the domestic and industrial sectors. In addition to knives and cutting tools, ball bearings for various purposes, bushings, axles and other structural elements that will be operated under increased loads are made from the material.

The most common foreign analogues of 95X18 in different countries of the world:

• In the USA - 440FSe, A756, 440C.
• In Japan - SUS440C.
• In France - Z100CD17.
• In Poland - H18.
• In Germany - X105CrMo17, 1.4125.

Foreign analogues of steel grade 95X18 (old. 9X18 EI229)

These grades of alloys are as similar as possible in chemical composition, and also have almost the same performance as the original.

You can not only buy stainless steel 95X18 (or its analogues) from us at a bargain price, but also order the manufacture of products from this alloy according to individual drawings.

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

Features of wood stabilized maple burl 

The sapwood is reddish-white, sometimes with a grayish sheen. The core is light, pinkish-brown. No characteristic odor or taste. Annual rings are not very pronounced, but on a radial and tangential section, moderately small or medium in size.

The rays are visible to the naked eye, but only so large.

Although most of the texture is fine-grained with straight grains. But they are also often found with a figured maple texture, which includes a wavy, quilted, folded pattern or the well-known "bird's eye".

Wood has lower rates than other types of maples. It is of medium weight (specific gravity 545 kg/m3) and hardness (Jank hardness 850 pounds).

It has an average durability, but when properly processed, the wood is relatively stable and does not rot.

What is maple cap?

Caps are called nodules on a tree with a modified usual direction of the fibers, thereby changing the inherent texture of maple wood. It is this knotty growth that leads to the formation of strange patterns on the surface of the wood inside.

Burl formation is believed to be caused by stress from trauma to the bark, fungi, wood viruses, or caused by insects. The wood tends to grow rapidly, with abnormal growth occurring mainly on tree trunks but also on lignified roots. Due to the rapid growth and the different forms of growth, the wood fibers form unusually intricate and beautiful burl patterns.

Using maple burl

Maple burl is highly valued by artists due to its unique fiber texture, structure and relative rarity. Works of applied art, design objects, unique furniture, decorative veneer are created from it.

Interesting fact

In the wetter parts of the range, such as in the Olympic National Park, which is located near the city of Port Angeles (Washington, USA), the bark of the broad-leaved maple is covered with epiphytic species of mosses and ferns. In similarly humid areas along the West Coast of the United States, maple burls are most common.

Burl bowl

In folk crafts and arts and crafts, materials obtained from wood are widely used. 

Linden, aspen, birch, alder, willow - these trees also provide wood for crafts, and / or twig and bast for weaving. If the material is unusual and rare, then it takes the craft to a new level - a valuable product or even a work of art that deserves more than a local history museum. Among these - cap (growth), a defect in the development of trees of different species. In terms of physical and aesthetic properties, the processed burl (birch burl is most often used) can compete with valuable types of wood that are not harvested in our country, stone, bone. It is hard, durable, dense, with a characteristic fine structure, which is not difficult to emphasize and enhance with natural methods of finishing and coloring in products from birch burl and other species.

Caps are classified as growths on trees, local thickenings on branches, trunk, roots. It is formed by heavily deformed, curly wood with many dormant buds. The interweaving of annual layers, the pattern of bud eyes and rings forms the visible structure of the wood.

And the exits of the kidney on and under the surface themselves form a complex texture, similar to a frozen picture of drops and splashes. The products use both qualities, both structure and texture.

Of the outgrowths of wood, kapu suvel is close. In it, the wood also forms a complex, but less sinuous pattern and there is no abundance of buds characteristic of burl. From the buds on the cap of a living tree, young shoots often grow. This is not typical for suveli. The growths can take the form of local and encircling thickenings. They are found both on the visible part of the plant and underground, where the burl is also covered with bark, like the trunk of a normal tree. Finding an underground burl (kapokoren) allows fresh shoots growing from the ground near the parent tree from “awakened” buds.

Burl growth without special treatment as an interior decoration

Cap is a defect in the development of wood. It is difficult to single out a general or single reason for its appearance. Most likely, cap formation is a complex response of a growing tree to external influences, probably associated with mutations.

An indirect confirmation of this is the presence of multiple burls on the affected tree and its absence on the neighboring ones. Perhaps, it triggers the growth (leads to the response protective activity of the tree) local damage to the plant, diseases. Burl is more on grafted trees, heavily pruned trees. There are references that walnut plantations with grafted trees served as a rich source of valuable burl material. To improve the “psychological portrait” of the burl, the concept of a stronger, more ill and with immunity parent tree for the material is used. This shifts the emphasis from the growth - the disease, to the cap - evidence of the natural growth and "hardening" of the tree. Since burl is rare, and it is very laborious to set up a laboratory experiment on the development of burl, such a concept is unlikely to have reliable factual grounds.

Cap appears in the irregular formation of wood and bast from the cambium and the abnormal development of adnexal buds. In the course of natural, healthy growth, a new annual layer and bast are formed from the cambium. 

In the cap, the directions of wood growth are not oriented, the wood layers are bent, crumpled. The emergence of adnexal and the presence of dormant buds waiting in the wings is a normal consequence of the growth of a tree. Superficial dormant buds may normally develop into shoots. Some find themselves in the thickness of the tree and, upon awakening, form local thickenings on the trunk. In the case of burl, the process of budding and development of buds is extremely active (by the standards of tree life). The buds deform the wood in the thickness of the burl, forming a pimply surface.
