Looking for history of 5160 spring steel

Chris Evans · 1st March 2020, 11:12 PM

Hi Folks,

An overview of 5160:https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=6743

A good article on how to best heat treat 5160: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2019/04/...at-treat-5160/

And where 5160 sits in terms of toughness among forging cutlery steels: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2020/02/...-knife-steels/

Ian: You could ask Larrin at Knife Steel nerds when 5160 came into generall usage: https://knifesteelnerds.com/

Cheers
Chris
