@SwampOperator 7 месяцев назад

Whwn you split it, was it to put a peice of high carbon in the middle?

@tedfeats1719 Год назад

These are high carbon yes? Are the railway irons (tracks) hc steel too?

@darthjarjar2742 Год назад

Railroad spike so pretty low carbon steel. That's why he Forge welded in the high-carbon for the blade

@Paul-i1d1o 9 месяцев назад

This is a serious question, well statement asking for response. A guy gave me a knife he'd made out of a spike once, it needed some finishing so I filled the hammer marks out and refined the shape. I then heated it to cherry red and dunked it in a bucket of used motor oil. That thing got so hard no file or sand paper would touch it. The only thing that would barely sharpen it was diamond. So my question is, is the extra metal necessary?

@Bearfoot-e3e 4 месяца назад

Not all spikes are made equal, I've had some that would get file hard and others that I heat to yellow and drop in cold oil to get the oil hot for heat treating a better piece of steel and the spikes never get hard at all. I think the older ones have more carbon.

@keillorchristoph Год назад

@BlackBearForgeII 5 месяцев назад

I was welding in a higher carbon steel for better edge holding in the finished piece.

@bryantello1819 2 месяца назад

So im a beginner and i was wondering why you split the head of the axe? Did you add a small piece of high carcon in there for your edge? Or is it for someother reason bc i am def going to try and make one

@BlackBearForgeII 2 месяца назад

You are correct, I added a piece of high carbon steel to makea better cutting edge.

@Bearfoot-e3e 4 месяца назад

@satibel Год назад

Aren't spikes mild steel? If so the edge probably wouldn't hold that well, but you can case harden mild steel, check clickspring's video, but basically it involves heating the blade with a mix of clay and charcoal so the carbon moves to the blade iirc.

@sonofdeleniel007 Год назад

He forge welded a high carbon steel beard onto the railroad spike about halfway through the short.

@woodskip 9 месяцев назад

A super cool looking axe head. I am concerned about the quality of the railroad spike steel. After creating such a beautiful tool it be a tragedy if the head broke.

@shermanhofacker4428 8 месяцев назад

Not a problem, notice that a piece of hardenable steel was welded into a split in the spike steel. The softer spike metal will not crack, the only concern will be that the weld will hold.

@ShinyAnvil 17 дней назад

This project has everything that is basically essential: hot cut, 1 fold, 2 forge weldings, 1 punch through, one split, marrying different pieces. Can be done in 30 minutes.
