1095 Steel
1095 is a high-carbon spring steel with excellent hardness after heat treatment. It is one of the most popular steels for knife blades, springs, and cutting tools.
Steel Blank
A steel blank is a metal blank made from steel — typically carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel — cut to size for further processing such as stamping, laser cutting, or machining.
Heat Treating(HT)
Heat treating is a group of industrial processes that alter the physical and mechanical properties of metal through controlled heating and cooling. It includes annealing, hardening, tempering, and normalizing.
Hardening and Tempering(H&T)
Hardening heats steel above its critical temperature and quenches it rapidly to increase hardness. Tempering then reheats it at a lower temperature to reduce brittleness while retaining strength.
