Complete Knowledge About Knife Steel

May 21, 2024

Knife steel is the core material for knife manufacturing, and its performance directly affects the cutting effect and service life of the tool. Here are some important things to know about knife steel:


1. Steel properties and requirements

Hardness: Usually refers to strength, measured by HRC (Rockwell hardness). The harder the hardness, the better the wear resistance of the knife is generally, but the toughness may be reduced.

Toughness: refers to the ability of steel to resist breaking and cracking during heavy-duty applications. Highly tough steel is able to bend without breaking, which is important in preventing knife breakage.

Wear Resistance: The ability of steel to withstand abrasion and adhesive wear. Steel with good wear resistance can maintain good cutting performance during long-term use.

Corrosion Resistance: The ability of steel to resist corrosion caused by moisture, moisture, salt and other factors. Highly corrosion-resistant steel is suitable for use in humid environments or where long-term use is required.


2. Common Steel Types And Their Characteristics
  • High-speed Steel: It has high hardness, wear resistance and toughness, and is suitable for occasions with high cutting speed.

  • Alloy knife Steel: Suitable for occasions requiring cutting at high temperatures, with high toughness and corrosion resistance.

Titanium Alloy Plating: improves the surface hardness and wear resistance of the knife, and is suitable for high-speed and high-temperature cutting.

  • Ceramic Steel: high hardness, wear resistance, high toughness, suitable for high-speed, high-temperature, high-hardness processing.

Carbide: such as tungsten steel, cobalt steel, silicon carbide, etc., can be used for high-speed, high-temperature, and high-strength cutting.



3. Steel Care And Maintenance
  • Avoid Moisture And Moisture: Knives should be cleaned and dried promptly after use to prevent rust.


  • Oil Regularly: For knives that have not been used for a long time, you can apply a thin layer of oil to isolate the air and prevent rust.



To sum up, choosing the right knife steel is crucial to ensuring the performance and service life of your knife. During use, reasonable care and maintenance cannot be ignored.
