  2. Differential heat treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_heat_treatment

    Differential heat treatment is a method used to alter the properties of various parts of a steel object differently, producing areas that are harder or softer than others. This creates greater toughness in the parts of the object where it is needed, such as the tang or spine of a sword, but produces greater hardness at the edge or other areas ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamon_(swordsmithing)

    The hamon of a blade is created during the quenching process (yakiire). During the differential heat treatment, the clay coating on the back of the sword reduces the cooling speed of the red-hot metal when it is plunged into the water and allows the steel to turn into pearlite, a soft structure consisting of cementite and ferrite (iron ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

    Heat treatment provides an efficient way to manipulate the properties of the metal by controlling the rate of diffusion and the rate of cooling within the microstructure. Heat treating is often used to alter the mechanical properties of a metallic alloy, manipulating properties such as the hardness, strength, toughness, ductility, and ...

    Steel's exact flex and strength vary dramatically with heat treating. If steel cools quickly it becomes martensite, which is very hard but brittle. Slower and it becomes pearlite, which bends easily and does not hold an edge. To maximize both the cutting edge and the resilience of the sword spine, a technique of differential heat-treatment is used.

    The level of HRC that can be achieved with a proper heat treatment is 66 HRC. Maxamet [ 56 ] is marketed by its manufacturer as a middle-ground between high-speed steel and cemented carbide . Carpenter claims Maxamet has improved hardness and wear resistance over high-speed steels while being tougher than cemented carbides.

    Rendering of electro-slag remelting apparatus and cross-sections. Electroslag remelting (ESR), also known as electro-flux remelting, is a process of remelting and refining steel and other alloys for mission-critical applications in aircraft, thermal power stations, nuclear power plants, military technology and others.
