Anyone looking for a powder metallurgy Damascus steel will find it here; Damasteel uses a modern powder metallurgy steel production process for all of its steels.
The strong contrast combined with corrosion resistance makes it truly unique in the steel industry.
As an authorized Damasteel dealer we offer a large assortment; with us you can buy almost all Damascus patterns from Damasteel.
Damasteel stands for modern stainless Damascus steel with very high manufacturing quality. Through the PM process a particularly fine and homogeneous microstructure is achieved. In practice this results in very good edge retention and toughness, and Damasteel shows a clearly high contrast pattern after etching. With us you will find DS93X for knives, Damacore with a hard core layer and decorative outer layers as well as DS95X for design and jewelry. All variants are available in many cross sections and can be cut to size per centimeter.
We are an authorized Damasteel dealer. We keep a large stock with many patterns and dimensions. Cutting is usually per centimeter. We ship quickly for in stock sizes and provide expert advice on heat treatment and etching.
Austenitize at 1030°C to 1090°C, quench preferably in air or vacuum, alternatively in oil.
Protection from oxygen is required, for example with protective gas, vacuum, or foil.
Temper two hours at 160°C to 205°C, depending on the desired hardness, temper twice if needed.
Damasteel is a stainless PM Damascus steel. Production is unique because the Damascus is created directly from powder rather than being welded from sheets as is usually done.
Yes, Damasteel is highly corrosion resistant. Careful handling preserves its appearance for a very long time.
For kitchen knives the typical range is 1.5 to 3.2 mm, and the most common thickness is 2.5 mm. For outdoor blades a blade thickness of 3.2 mm or more is usually chosen.
The finer the scratch pattern before etching the better the contrast. A mirror polish is ideal. As an etchant hydrochloric acid works well and provides the highest contrast on Damasteel DS93X.
