hey mate, same sort of question was asked about bisalloy ( brand name ) a while ago, its wear resistant stuff, heres a link for more information. http://www.bisalloy.com.au/files/Techman/Range%20of%20Grades.pdf unfortunately its not good for making blades, but at least you can learn why. -
its used alot in heavy earthmoving and minning machinery, for all the high wear areas that take alot of abuse.. very very hard to mark properly with a centre punch and good for making drill bits blunt, it doesnt cut as well as mild steel with and oxy/acetylene torch either.. Im not sure how it would go for a blade though, thats why i browse this site If its useful for knife making, im going to kick myself, ive seen alot of it thrown in the scrap at a place i worked at.
