Hier mal 10 Fragen an Duane bezüglich des neuen Materials:
Zitat:
1. How strong is it?
Strong like bull.
Trick question.
To many variables.
True numbers comparative to iron based alloys available soon.
Some aspects will be superior to anything, some will not. The fact remains that
some aspects will be superior to anything.
2. Rust?
Orders of magnitude above anything in history at comparable hardness.
3. Can it be gotten in .250 or close for BD or fixed blades.
Inbound as I write. Strider BD, BT, MT, WB, and more scheduled immediately.
4. Prying?
A facet of question number one. I can give opinions and references but official,
comparable data is being compiled independent of ownership for scientific and
liability purposes. Stand by.
5. Diving knife w/orange G-10?
Model BD ... yes ... Orange G10 ... if customer provides G10. Colored G10
requires minimum orders of manufacture. Other materials are available in orange
and other options are worth discussion.
6. Edge retention?
Lets call this wear resistance ... all test to date exhibit excellent results. Once
again ... comparative data is being compiled at this time.
NOTE: with a hardness level as high as we have achieved, a relative indicator
shows that great things are happening here. This is directly relative to edge
retention.
7. With the harder RC, how brittle is the material?
"brittle" is not an appropriate metallurgical term. I believe you are referring to
toughness. And again ... if it is true comparative data you are interested in, it is
being done in a controlled environment as we write. Early indications show
outstanding results in this category.
8. Non-ferric, Non-corrosive?
Ferric/ferrous materials represent iron based alloys. This is NOT.
Corrosion resistant ...
Orders of magnitude above anything in history at comparable hardness.
9. How is it to sharpen?
Similar to any 60/63Rc hardness material.
10. Rough cost for SnG?
Please see Josh.
This material represents a passionate two and a half years of my life. It is a valid
and true invention thanks to the great people at Crucible Materials and Crucible
Research Corp. My genuine thanks goes out to all who helped make this happen. I
will do my best to give a more detailed chronology of the materials development in
the very near future.
Sincerely ...
Thanks,
Duane
