would an H13 rod be a good metal for making a touchmark?
-
indeed fergy, we need more ram info
-
i cant be of much help tho because i am transfixed with your pics as to what in the world that thing is
-
ram cylinder size would be my question, the pumps i use at work only put out 2800 psi but the ram cylinder they are attached to puts out 720 tons of force
-
made this one with a spike exactly that size
-
not yet, still working on the finishing touches on my forge
-
i like finding projects that require tools i do not have yet, that way i get 2-3 goods projects out of 1 idea
-
i have a pretty good supply of the H13 pins as well...thinknig of trading some out so others can play with em
-
makes sense for the pins former life as a locator device when 2 mold halves meet
-
bout that big
-
i get that impression from his posts
-
i got the same impression when i read the specs on 5115, the pins i have are seriously hard on the outside anyway? was surprised to see that the specs had it at such a low carbon the other pins out of the same mold are all H13 not sure what is with 5115 pins, but free is free so...
-
thanks for the advice Charles, got some forgin' to do
-
probably no good for blades then i imagine
-
has anyone used 5115 steel to forge anything? got a good bit of it but am having trouble gathering any information regarding it
-
thank you
-
got some H13 for trade is there a specific thread for that?
-
beautiful work, love that leaving in the rough bits look. what did you use to put your name in it?
-
-
and leaf springs are good for the 5160 on average?
-
so if i am buying new steel then 5160 is a good blade steel?...trying to study up on my alloys but, have alot to learn still
-
thank you both, made a gift of it to my uncle who is very supportive of my new hobby so its just for show really not for use so much
-
thank you Dave that is very helpful indeed
-
live in southern indiana so i know im not far from the coal mines in kentucky, does anyone know a good source in this area?
-
i know, i know, railroad spikes dont make good knives but it was a good learning piece for me i think...what does you all think?
