All,
Can anyone give me specifics on the composition of the steel used in days of old for razor making? I would also like any information on steel used now, IF it has changed significantly.
By specifics, I mean carbon composition, other alloying percentages (manganese, chromium, etc.). Also, typical quenching (or not quenching) and heat treating practices (tempered, annealed, etc.).
Any info will help. Working on some things for my materials engineering senior design.
Thanks in advanced.
