What is the 14c28n steel?
The 14c28n steel, or the Sandvik 14c28n steel, is a Swedish high-carbon stainless steel made by European Materials Technology Company called Sandvik. It is basically an upgrade to the 12c27 and the 13c26 knife steels. The 14c28n steel contains the highest attainable hardness threshold with a carbon content of about 0.6%.
What is the difference between CPM S30V and 14c28n steel?
However, CPM S30V steel offers better edge retention while 14C28N outshines its ability to get an edge faster. What’s more, S30V is categorized as a premium making it more expensive than 14C28N. VG10 steel is high-end knife steel and therefore more expensive than 14C28N.
Is this datasheet valid for Sandvik Materials?
This datasheet is only valid for Sandvik materials. Sandvik 14C28N ® is a martensitic stainless chromium steel with a chemistry optimized for high quality professional knife applications. The chemical composition provides a unique combination of properties including:
What is the difference between 14c28n and 440C?
14C28N VS D2 D2 has slightly better/same edge retention, the same level of toughness, and lower corrosion resistance compared to the CTS BD1 steel. 14C28N VS 440C 440C has slightly lower/same edge retention, lower toughness, and the same level of corrosion resistance compared to the CTS BD1 steel.
What is the difference between 14c28n and VG10 steel?
S30V is awesome in ease of sharpening, edge-retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. VG10 steel is high-end steel, while 14c28n steel is in the midrange class. Thus, VG10 steel is more expensive, has better edge retention, and will not rust easily.
How do I Harden-treat 14c28n steel?
Sandvik recommends harden-treating the 14C28N steel while it achieves 1050°C (1922°F) and quenching in oil for 5-minute spans. Further, the tempering should happen at 450°C (840°F), as past this temperature, 14C28N loses corrosion resistance and becomes very brittle.
