Is a New Bohler Knife Steel Coming? 

You should have waaay more followers. I recently bought your book. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video! I appreciated all of it but learning the "powdering" process via the animation was great.

looks really interesting, doesn't look like it fits my set of needs but would still be really cool for it to see the light of day.

Imagine if someone were to create a machine learning ai that could create new steel compositions and ht protocols for the perfect steel big or small for whatever product and it's desired performance.

Thanks for posting this. I learned some things I didn't know I didn't know!

Interesting that adding graphite to the powder blend is considered a novel approach in the HIP process. It’s very common to see flake graphite added to water atomized steel/iron powder in press and sinter powder metallurgy. There’s always the risk of segregation though since the steel powders are typically an order of magnitude larger in nominal particle size.

Interesting Information, Thanks!!

Very interesting Larry!

Thanks for sharing.

Your my favorite scientist Larrin…Your doing good work.

Even as a non knife maker this very interesting. Great animation. Thank you.

Love your videos I feel like I’m coming to school and sitting in a classroom that I’m actually interested in the subject

Man. I need to get back in the Patreon. They've been giving me trouble processing my card for some reason. Hopefully I can get it worked out.

Great video Larrin, I think the only way this steel could replace LC200N is if it has greater edge stability as that is most peoples complaint about the steel.

Hell, wasn't LC200N originally intended for bearings to be used in outer space while S125V was intended to be used in dentist Dremel tools. Maybe this steel will find it's way into many other industries

So that is how powdered steel is made! Thanks!

I guess if you're looking for something with a bit more stain resistance than S7 (none) and A8Mod (a little) it could serve as some kind of chipper blade. Though I shudder to think what manner of horrific industrial chipping process it'd get used for, probably making hotdogs

Sounds like a great kitchen knife steel

If this paper is online, please post link

Does cobalt only help more austenite form at higher tempreturs, or does it also cause more retained austenite during tempering as well potentially leading to a loss in toughness if it decomposes or bad edge quality/ difficulty sharpening? If it does lead to more retained austenite is decomposition even an issue if you have sufficient chromium? Does colbalt reduce decomposition all by it self?

Thank you, Larrin. 👍🔪

For knives....Bohler Nb or ..CPM-1V.?

As a question - why not inject the carbon during The gas powderization? Would swapping the nitrogen for a carbon bearing gas not work? I considered suggesting carbon subnitride. But... Well, that's Dicyanoacetylene... So getting oxygen into the powderization vessel would cause a big boom.

Looks like an excellent option for a large stainless steel chopper 👍 Many people have asked me for a stainless steel chopper… any other suggestions of suitable steels?

Hey larrin i have a question. Why is that harder steel's e.g. rex45, k390 appear to have a darker shade or more fine lines then say stainless steel's which appear less dull and more reflective to light? I even noticed s110v although a stainless steel but with a higher HRC to the naked eye looks more like k390 and rex45 then say elmax or 14c28n. There's definitely a difference in appearance i just don't know exactly why? Thanks again for your contributions!!

Will there be a digital version of the knife engineering book someday?

Saltwater dive knife steel?

Sounds like Niolox+ ... Maybe you should get in touch with Achim Wirtz, He's the german steel-guru, and he has made a lot of steels at Lohmann.

🤠👍

Would this work for swords? You know, if it becomes available.
