RWL 34 Bar Stock
Swedish Martensitic stainless barstock, manufactured from RSP (Rapidly Solidified Powder) resulting in highest edge strength and fantastic finishes.
Advantage of RSP vs. Conventional Steels,
The reason why the RSP steel give superior performance is found in the solidification structure. The coarse carbide structure of the conventional steels limits the fracture strength. The carbide clusters act like fracture initiation sites on a certain stress level. The substantially smaller carbides in the rapidly solidified material inhibit fracture initiation until the stress level is nearly doubled. The powder steels have around twice the fracture strength of conventional steels. The best combination of hardness and strength is found mostly in the rapidly solidified powder steels. Annealed for knifemaking. Manufactured in Sweden

* The treatment 4 and 5 include deep cooling -80 C (-140 F) after both hardening and tempering. Time 15 minutes. Low temperature tempering is recommended for best corrosion properties.
1) Heat to hardening temperature, hold for 10-15 minutes. You can use either an air or an oil quench, cooling to room temperature.
