MATERIALS
Premium composite materials for knifemaking, watchmaking, jewelry and other sectors where materials aestethics, quality and originality takes a part. Our titanium and steel damascus combines mechanical and aesthetic qualities are used by knifemakers, watchmakers, jewelry makers and other artists. in the production of original knives, designer watch cases, spinners, wedding rings, dials, buckles as well as other functional accessories. We’re aimed for quality metallographic results and constantly expanding our own technological and production base.
Heat tretment & etching
#StainlessFuturon
Heat treating
for best results, we recommend to use thermal processing professionals (using protective atmosphere) like Bodycote etc.
– hold blade for 10-15 min. at 1050°C / 1920°F; oil quenching
– tempering 2 cycles, 30 minutes at 150-180°C / 305-355 °F each
– finall hardness is 59-60 HRc
Etching
– use Ferric chloride (FeCl3) and distilled water in 1:1 ratio
– hold for 15 minutes at room temperature
– if that’s not enough, use water to remove sediments and repeat
#HardcoreFuturon
Heat treating – ELMAX core
for best results, we highly recommend to use thermal processing professionals (using protective atmosphere) like Bodycote etc.
– hold blade for 30 min. at 1080°C / 1980°F; Forced air/gas quenching
– tempering 2 cycles, 2 hours at 200°C / 390 °F each
– finall hardness is 60 HRc
Etching
– use Ferric chloride (FeCl3) and distilled water in 1:1 ratio
– hold for 15 minutes at room temperature
– if that’s not enough, use water to remove sediments and repeat
Elmax core will go dark nicelly.
#BlackFuturon
Colouring
– use propane gas torch and heat polished or satin-finished surface
– colors will show in order of titanium anodizing spectral colors.
– Zirconium turns black (or oil-black) and keeps like that even when other colors are buffed-out
– each titanium grade shows different colour on specific temperature, that makes this multi-color effect
– you can combine heat-oxidation with anodic-oxidation or etching
– in you’re not so experienced, keep the scrap from cutting and run various test with colors etc.
