Aeb-l
Got me some AEB-L from Rob at Canadian Knife Maker. He states that it is "easy to heat-treat" but doesn't elaborate. Anyone know the process?
Much obliged, Chris __________________ Chris K. Two Mountains Forge Delta, BC, Canada www.twomountainsforge.com |

I also looked into using AEB-L but found out it is not for the newer knifemaker or someone
that doesn't have an oven. Here is the link that was given to me when I was researching it. Gives all the specs and HT info: http://www.alphaknifesupply.com/zdat...teelS-AEBL.htm I have used a couple of knives made of AEB-L and loved them. Kept a good edge and cut well. I will be using this SS in the future. Hopefully, a couple of the Master's will tell you more than I can. Good Luck, Troy |

That is an interesting alloy. Hypoeuticoid with plenty of chromium but little else. Definitely no high temperature carbides that are found in other stainless steels. If there was a stainless that would heat treat with nothing more than a forge it looks like this might be it. However, there's no such thing as too much heat control. Why don't you drop Rob a line an see how he handles it.

I too got some from AEB-L Canadian Knifemaker Supply. 0.130". I ended up going with 1060?C (1940?F), plate/air quench. Tempering at 175?C (350?F) for two 2-hour cycles. Target was Rockwell 58, but don't have a tester handy.
I printed the table on Alpha's page. It's the only HT info I could find. Even Uddeholm doesn't seem to have anything published for this steel; odd considering it's been around since 1928. Apparently Sandvic makes the same thing known as 13C26. http://www.alphaknifesupply.com/Pict...l/13C26-DS.pdf I'll be giving this the test in my own kitchen. I'll keep you posted. Dan |

Rob, In your experience does the Sandvic product come in anything thicker than 1/8"?

That seems hefty enough for what I do. Do you mind if I ask where you procured said 13C26?
