M390 steel: composition, interpretation and application
Damascus steel has long held a leading position in terms of strength, reliability and durability. Modern technologies have made it possible to obtain a new type of material with the best performance - M390 steel. It was first introduced in Austria by Bohler-Uddeholm AG in the early 1990s.
Thanks to its high technological characteristics, the material quickly gained recognition and began to be used for the manufacture of knives. Its main properties include:
- Hardness (60-62 HRC), due to the unique structure of crystal lattices with a solid structure. Such a result was obtained on the basis of careful checking of the composition and ratio of components. M390 steel can be hardened, which significantly increases its strength.
- Use of vanadium and tungsten. Knives are sharpened using desktop units, because The use of water stone will significantly complicate the process. After such processing, the knife remains sharp for a long time.
- The possibility of mirror polishing due to the high hardness of the metal. The smooth polished surface of M390 steel is characterized by the same reflective ability as a mirror.
Decoding and chemical composition
Today, the composition is widely used for the manufacture of cutting objects, including knives. It refers to the materials of the powder method of production, during its processing, raw materials are crushed and baked in molds at a temperature of up to 1500 degrees. This allows the use of a significant part of alloying elements, which improves the characteristics of M390 steel.
Metal development was carried out on the basis of EU standards, according to which the chemical composition of M390 steel, in addition to iron, includes:
- Carbon in the amount of 1.85±0.05%. It is necessarily present in a metal of high hardness, connecting Ferrum (Fe) molecules to increase mechanical qualities. On the other hand, its presence impairs the manufacturability of processing and increases brittleness. However, steel is considered the optimal material in relation to brittleness to strength.
- Chromium is contained in steel in the amount of 20±1%. It is designed to improve mechanical performance and corrosion resistance as a result of heat treatment. With an increase in the concentration of this chemical element of M390 steel, an extension of the period of trouble-free operation under cyclic loading and abrasive impact is guaranteed.
- Silicon and manganese are contained in the metal in amounts of 0.7±0.1% and 0.25±0.05%, respectively. They are deoxidizers that prevent chemical elements from the air from entering the alloy during manufacturing. Due to them, chemical treatment is reduced, the strength and quality of the surface is increased.
- Molybdenum and vanadium are contained in the amount of 1% and 3-4%, respectively. They are characterized by a high melting point, which increases the material's resistance to elevated temperatures, stiffness and improves technical properties.
- Tungsten steel in the amount of 0.6±0.1%. It increases its strength and has the maximum effect on this indicator compared to other components.
Features of the material
The advantages of the alloy include:
- excellent plasticity with significant hardness;
- corrosion resistance, inability to oxidize in air and at t = 800 degrees;
- lack of reaction to the influence of many acidic and alkaline substances;
- preliminary heat treatment, which includes quenching and high relaxation;
- strength, which ensures destruction under a significant load, which is 1.4 times higher than the similar indicator of high-speed steels. The difference between yield strength and tensile strength is practically absent;
- knives with M390 remain sharp for a long time.
Disadvantages can be considered only the cost of the material, the difficulty of sharpening and grinding.
Knife from M390
Technical characteristics
M390 steel is characterized by the following basic parameters:
- melting point of 1300-1400 degrees;
- with a hardness of 65 units. according to Rockwell;
- strength limit of 900 MPa;
- at the beginning of failure 850 MPa.
Application
The metal is used for the manufacture of knife blades, surgical instruments, and industrial cutters. Knives are characterized by high hardness and the ability to withstand strong dynamic actions. They remain sharp for six months, subject to compliance with the rules of operation. The negative qualities include only the difficulty of sharpening, for which you will need special equipment - a machine. It is also important to have skills in this process.
Analogues
Only the American product Duratech 20CV can be considered an analogue of M390 steel, which is due to the recent appearance of the metal on the market.
I also recommend looking at the following steel brands:

WHAT ARE MICARTA AND G10. HOW ARE THESE COMPOSITE MATERIALS DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER?
For decades now, composite materials Micarta and G10 have been the undisputed leaders in the knife industry, in particular for the production of handles of varying complexity. The materials stand out for their availability, ease of production and processing, as well as high strength, wear resistance and low maintenance. Both materials are composite, they are based on a polymer resin, which is complemented by layers of film of various types.
Micarta material is an electrical insulating material consisting of a polymer film (based on cresolaldehyde, phenolic, xylenolaldehyde resin, or resin from a mixture of phenolic raw materials). It is glued together using various electrically insulating papers, fabric (mostly linen of natural or artificial origin), or other materials of a similar structure; there are also options made of fiberglass and carbon fiber. The color of the material depends on the resin and fabric base used for gluing. Micarta is a relatively soft material and requires careful hand processing. Therefore, it is used in the production of handles for more expensive knives.
Micarta is registered as a trademark of the American company Industrial Laminates / Norplex, Inc. (Norplex-Micarta). Its domestic analogue can be considered a material called “getinax”, which is mainly used as a basis for printed circuit boards. The material also has a layered pressed structure, which consists of a paper base with the addition of phenolic or epoxy resin impregnation.
Linen based micarta has a more attractive optical effect when sanding the fibers. Once sanding is complete, the surface can be polished or sandblasted. In the first option, the surface of the material will be smooth, silky, warm and pleasant to the touch. And in the second, the material becomes rough and has a matte tint; in addition, it holds securely in the hand and does not slip.
Main properties of Micarta:
- increased water resistance;
- excellent resistance to temperature changes;
- strength to machining;
- dense structure that does not absorb odors;
- the micro-relief of the material does not slip in the hand even on a wet surface;
- tight fit to the blade, which leaves absolutely no gaps and prevents food residues and harmful microorganisms from accumulating.
G10 is a lightweight, hard and fairly rigid composite material with a textured surface that is primarily used in the handles of both folding pocket knives and fixed blade knives. This material is created by laying several layers of fiberglass, carefully impregnated with epoxy resin, in a special vacuum press, where, under the influence of compression and heat, the resin finally hardens, preserving the structure of the fiberglass.
The G10 material is characterized by good impact resistance, wear resistance, moisture resistance, as well as ease of processing and maintenance. The material can be painted in various colors, including layers. The surface of G10 can also be polished to a glossy state, or have a rough anti-slip texture, by grinding or sandblasting.
Key features of G10:
- high stability of basic properties, with temperature fluctuations;
- withstands high shock loads, compression and tension loads;
- high overall hydrophobicity and resistance to chemicals;
- weighs relatively little in relation to overall strength and density;
- low electrical conductivity;
- can take various forms.
Composite materials G10 and Micarta have almost the same composition and external similarity. At the same time, G10 material has higher fire resistance, although it is not a non-flammable material, has higher compressive, bending, impact and tear strength, and is also simpler and more cost-effective to produce. At the same time, G10 is inferior in terms of “tenacity” in wet conditions, and also tactilely feels less “natural”.
Glass textolite G10 is a material for creating knife handles. Glass textolite G10 is a composite material based on fiberglass and epoxy resin, used to create knife handles.
In the production of G10, fiberglass is soaked for some time in epoxy resins, after which the product is placed under a press for a long time.
As a result, we get a very strong, moisture-proof and impact-resistant material. G10 is a material that is excellent for processing and painting. G10 - used in their products by the vast majority of knife manufacturers and authors.
As an example, we can cite such companies as Spyderco, Benchmade, and among the authors who like to work with textotextolite Bob Terzuola, Duane Carillo and Mick Strider. In addition, almost all Emerson knives have G10 handles.
Before mounting G10 on the liners, the material is sandblasted and then impregnated with oil. G10 - the material is very tenacious and provides, apparently, a reliable hold of the knife in the hand. The disadvantages of the material include the rather aggressive attitude of knives with a G10 handle to trouser pockets.
