Carbon steel 15N20 with 2% nickel, ideal for the manufacture of Damascus steel
Used especially for the manufacture of band saw blades, 15N20 / 75Ni8 / 1.5634 steel is a carbon steel with properties similar to 1075 steel, but containing a significant proportion of nickel.
Highly valued in the manufacture of Damascus Steel:
It is either used alone to make a blade, or alloyed with another steel 1075, 1095, O2 etc, for the making of a Damascus of a good contrast after etching. Nickel provides a high contrasting power (shiny parts), that is why 15N20 / 75Ni8 / 1.5634 steel is perfect for Damascus forging.
15N20 carbon steel for the manufacture of knives and swords
It is easy to sharpen and its toughness remains one of its main advantages. Nickel steel 15N20 / 75Ni8 / 1.5634 can be used for the manufacture of knives, but also for the manufacture of swords.
Perhaps you know this steel by another name:
The 15N20 corresponds approximately to the following standards: AFNOR 75Ni8 - AISI L6 - Wnr 1.5634
