Steel N690: composition, interpretation and application
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
According to 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% 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 STEELS FOR KNIVES
The use of Austrian N690 steel allows for 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 deliveries
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.

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.
