Description
1095 forging steel is an ideal steel for knife making as well as many other metal smith type hobbies. 195 steel is a high carbon steel that is very easy to shape through a process called forging. This steel lacks some of the manganese of other steels and as such has a lower harden-ability. The added carbon creates a carbon rich martensite with plenty of free carbon for good abrasion resistance. This steel required more care in the heat treatment process. Also, avoid lamellar annealing and overheating with this steel. Recommended working sequence for 1095: Forging: Heat to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit / 1150 Celsius. Do not forge below 1500 degrees Fahrenheit / 815 degrees Celsius. Normalizing - Heat to 1575 Celsius & then cool in still air. Annealing - heat to 1475 degrees Fahrenheit & furnace cool to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit at a rate not exceeding 50 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Grinding Or Machining: Hardening - Austenitize heat to 1475 degrees Fahrenheit.3. RMP Knife Blade Steel - High Carbon Annealed, 1095 Knife Making Billets, 1.5" x 12" x .187", 1 per Pack

O1 Tool Steel Sheet, Precision Ground, Annealed, 1/8" Thickness, 1 1/2" Width, 18" Length
Feature
O1 tool steel has better machinability than A2 tool steel, and must be hardened in oilMeets ASTM A681 specifications
Ground with high precision to the specified shape and size
Standard tolerance
Description
The O1 tool steel sheet has been precision ground and polished, meets American Society for Testing and Materials International ASTM A681 specifications, and has a standard tolerance. The O1 tool steel grade has better machinability than A2 tool steel. It must be hardened in oil, which can be done at relatively low temperatures for good dimensional stability. The sheet has been ground to achieve the precise shape and size.
Steel is an iron alloy with carbon and other elements that modify the steel to achieve specific properties. In general, steels with higher carbon content have greater strength, hardness, and wear resistance, while those with lower carbon content have more formability, weldability, and toughness. Carbon steels, which include most AISI-SAE grades in the 1000 range, are classified by their level of carbon content as low (below 0.3%), medium (0.3% to 0.6%) and high (0.6% and above). Alloy steels, which include AISI-SAE grades in the 1300 and 4000 ranges and above, incorporate elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel to modify properties like machinability and corrosion resistance. Tool steels, which include most grades with a letter and number grade designation, have high carbide content for wear resistance, high hardness, and the ability to hold a cutting edge. Some tool steels are designed to resist deformation when used in elevated temperatures.
Tensile strength, used to indicate a materials overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughnessdescribes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped. Machinability describes how easily it can be cut, shaped, finished, or otherwise machined, while weldability characterizes the ability to be welded.

Feature
1080 is a moderately high carbon content forging steel used for making knives. This oil quenching steel is in the annealed state.Iron alloy contains 0.88% carbon, 0.90% manganese, 0.05% sulphur, and 0.04% phosphorus.
Dimensions are 3/16" x 1-1/2" x 12".
Layer 1080 with 15N20 to forge Damascus, and etch with Ferric Chloride to bring out the contrast. Higher carbon steels like 1080 will keep an edge much better than stainless steels, but are also more susceptible to rust without proper care.
