Description

High manganese steel red hand forged Tang horizontal knife is a traditional cold weapon craft with unique charm. The following is its related introduction:
Material characteristics
High manganese steel: It has high strength, high toughness, and good wear resistance. After appropriate heat treatment, the hardness required to maintain the sharpness of the blade can be maintained while ensuring the toughness of the blade, making the tool less likely to break during cutting, blocking, and other actions, and able to withstand large impact forces.
Redness phenomenon: It may be caused by special heat treatment or surface treatment, intentionally making the blade appear red in color to achieve a unique visual effect, increase its artistic and antique sense; It is also possible that during the forging process, a specific oxide film is formed on the surface of high manganese steel due to factors such as heating temperature and cooling rate, resulting in a red color.
process characteristics
Hand forging: Craftsmen heat high manganese steel to high temperatures and repeatedly strike it to make the internal structure of the steel denser and more uniform, eliminate impurities, enhance the strength and toughness of the blade, and form a unique forging texture, making each blade unique.
Fine grinding: After multiple grinding processes, different grit grinding stones are used to grind the blade from coarse to fine, making the surface of the blade smooth as a mirror, the blade extremely sharp, and able to clearly display the material texture and forging marks of high manganese steel.
