Product Description

AISI 1095 High Carbon Tool Steel:
1095 steel is a high carbon steel known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance. It belongs to the class of carbon steels with a carbon content ranging from 0.90% to 1.03%. 1095 steel is widely used in various applications where sharpness and durability are essential, such as knives, swords, and cutting tools.

Chemical Composition:
Carbon (C): 0.90%-1.03%
Manganese (Mn): 0.30%-0.50%
Phosphorus (P): 0.040% (max)
Sulfur (S): 0.050% (max)

Mechanical Properties:
Hardness: 55-58 HRC (Rockwell C scale)
Tensile Strength: 685-845 MPa (99,400-122,700 psi)
Yield Strength: 550 MPa (79,800 psi) (approximate)
Elongation: 10%-15% (in 50mm)

Physical Properties:
Density: 7.85 g/cm³ (0.284 lb/in³)
Melting Point: Approximately 1425°C (2600°F)

Heat Treatment:
1095 steel can be hardened and tempered to achieve desired mechanical properties. Common heat treatment processes include:
Quenching: Heating to austenitizing temperature (815°C - 870°C or 1500°F - 1600°F) followed by rapid quenching in oil or water to achieve maximum hardness.
Tempering: Reheating to a specific temperature (usually between 370°C - 500°C or 700°F - 930°F) to reduce brittleness and improve toughness while retaining hardness.

Surface Treatment:
Surface treatments for 1095 steel include:
Polishing: Enhances appearance and improves corrosion resistance.
Black oxide coating: Provides a protective layer against corrosion and wear.
Satin or brushed finish: Adds aesthetic appeal and reduces glare.

Applications:
Knives: Hunting knives, kitchen knives, and survival knives.
Swords: Katana, wakizashi, and other traditional Japanese swords.
Cutting tools: Chisels, shears, and scissors.
Industrial blades: Band saw blades, hacksaw blades, and razor blades.

Quality Assurance:
1095 steel is typically produced to industry standards such as ASTM A682 and SAE J403. Quality assurance measures include chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing, and dimensional inspection.

Environmental Considerations:
Proper disposal of cutting fluids and other waste products generated during machining and heat treatment processes is essential to minimize environmental impact. Recycling of scrap steel is encouraged to conserve resources and reduce energy consumption.
