А потом наварить лезвие из нормальной стали, чтоб прилично резало. Вопрос, будет ли это так же красиво, как из цельного сталагмита. У сталагмита есть структура, а пыль безлика и аморфна.

    Hey question! Why does the hot metal flake up when it’s pounded?

    • @KoWahiKit
      @KoWahiKit ปีที่แล้ว +76

      That metal surface bonds with oxygen and becomes brittle, pretty much the same as rust.
      Oxygen bonds with metals easily, and even faster when that steel is heated. The resulting material is brittle and has a lower melting point, so it separates and flakes off. This is why forge welding or other forms of welding require a flux: the flux keeps the oxygen away from the hot metal so none of the corrosion mixes into the weld when it’s molten.

    • @petergray7576
      @petergray7576 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's because the flakes experience a sudden increase in surface area, and the ratio of surface area to volume is higher in small, thin pieces of metal. These rapidly lose heat to the air around them.

      But yeah I find it interesting that the outside of it flakes off due to the temperature change on the outside of the material and how the core of it is still extremely hot
      Also it's amazing how fast the thin flakes cool off but I'm pretty sure it's because the amount of material that flakes off is so small that it cools off faster than it would if the flakes were thicker

      Aquí un aficionado a la forja, normalmente el que tan buena es una hoja, su resistencia y flexibilidad y qué tanto mantiene el filo se da por el tipo de metal (o más correctamente que tanto porcentaje de carbono posea el metal, al menos en el caso del acero) el acero con más carbono es más resistente y tiende menos a romperse ya que es algo flexible, mientras que el que tiene menor porcentaje de carbono es más duro, pero tiende a romperse más debido a la dureza, cuándo no se tiene mucho acero con alto porcentaje de carbono lo ideal es usar la parte con más carbono (la más resistente) para el filo y el acero de menor porcentaje (el más duro) para el cuerpo y el mango del cuchillo ya que no tendrá tantos golpes o en general debe soportar menos estrés, ya que el acero de alto porcentaje de carbono es más care, otra cosa que afecta la durabilidad de una hoja, su filo y demás, es el proceso de normalizado que lleva la hoja, cuándo uno le da la forma debe someterlo a altas temperaturas para que tome un color uniforme (nunca por encima de la temperatura crítica del acero) esto con el fin de hacer que toda la hoja tenga la misma temperatura, se saca de la fragua y se deja calentar poco a poco para que se endurezca de la misma manera todo el metal y obtenga el mismo temple en todos lados, eso hace que sea menos propenso a romperse con los golpes o que el filo se dañe al golpear, también hay quiénes bajan la temperatura de la hoja luego de hacer el normalizado con arena, aceite o agua para templarlo, si hace bien el normalizado antes de templar la hoja, la hoja mantiene su forma, no se dobla y se vuelve más resistente, si no puede doblarse y hasta romper
