Has anyone else noticed that the pattern that you see when you quench 1095/15N20 is the negative of what you see when you etch it? Just a curiosity.

Show us some pics. I would like to see this phenomenon?
I'll do it. I just had a machinery breakdown (lathe) that I need to fix first. Might be a few days.Quote:

Do you wnt a scientific explanation for that phenomenon ? or will we leave it at that:)
First pattern after HT is due to diffrences in decarburization...second pattern after etchig is due to diffrences in corosion resistance.
You make realy nice blades BTW:D
Ovidiucotiga, where's the science?
Please include the relationship between decarburization and carbon resistance as related to light scattering and of course the corresponding chemistry involved in the processes.
Just kidding :)
^^^^i tried to keep it simple...usualy ppl give me "the look" when i start babling about why stuff happens the way it does:))
