Is the entire blade Stellite, or just the edge? Cheers, Geoff S. Title: Re: Insert runners for sale Post by: Bob Rast DN1313 on February 21, 2012, 04:43:25 PM From what I know just the edge on regular steel some type of hard weld that they do in Sweden.I believe Stelite is also Cobalt same relative hardness as 440 but less costly to make dont have to machine, harden the blade or have to straighten and remachine like 440.
Its a interesting way to get a hard edge on soft steel. They stay sharp like the 440 blades Ive used them in 20 plus mph stuff and they hold as good as 440 good starter set of inserts half the price of the 440 blades Title: Re: Insert runners for sale Post by: Ken Smith on February 22, 2012, 06:42:34 PM Wait guys.
Stellite is a very hard, tough material applied by welding methods. Much harder than 440C. A blade of solid stelite would be expensive, and not suitable for use. It was developed as a seating material for steam valves and resists damage and steam undercutting. It is magic in ice where teh surface is melting... |
