![]() ![]() It appears that they are appreciated for their durability, their hardness and for their affordable price if compared to properties. The differential hardening and the folding operations, which are meant to harden the blade can increase the weight of the piece this situation is handled by an aesthetically implanted blood groove that help eliminate the extra weight but keep the resulting spine from the differential Clay Tempering process.ġ060 Carbon Steel Katanas have the medium rank between 10 Carbon Steel Katanas. This is the property of high and medium Carbon Steels: they keep a certain softness which makes them to develop ideal curves during the clay tempering processes and folding operation. ![]() These Katanas create curves while being forged. 1060 Carbon Steel Katanas are expected to be heavier than those made of 1045 Carbon Steel, because of the steel properties. ![]() Though, it is very important to clean the blade and polish it after every extensive use to ensure the durability and the sharpness, and to keep the edge “healthy”. It is more resistant to corrosion and oxidation and therefore requires less maintenance processing than the 1045 Katanas. The edge is durable and the sharpness lasts longer. 1060 Carbon Steel Katanas require more effort to produce. It is the favorite steel material of famous swords companies.ġ060 Carbon Steel katanas inherit the durability and the hardness of the steel material. Actually, the swords made of 1060 Carbon Steel keep their edges sharp longer and they are more expensive. The high Caron tenor makes the 1060 Steel more durable, but it is not high enough to compromise its pliability. 1060 Carbon Steel Is harder than 1045 Carbon Steel this property makes this steel harder to forge. Others elements can be found mixed to this alloy but their tenors are not very significant. The number 1060 refers to a material made of an alloy of Iron with a Carbon tenor of about %0.60. This makes proper sword maintenance more important.ġ060 Carbon Steel is a high carbon steel. Whereas 1045 is quite resistant to corrosion the 1060 rusts quicker. However, it is more expensive than 1045 steel. Obviously, 1060 carbon steel swords are very popular. 1060 carbon steel swords have great flexibility as well. Those Japanese swords look great with their visible temper line (hamon), which is only possible, due to the high carbon content of 0.6%. Moreover, the blade is harder and able to take and keep a sharper edge, than the ones we previously discussed. Thus, a lot of clay tempered katanas are made from 1060 high carbon steel. The carbon steel is perfect for differential tempering. It offers a great compromise between hardness and flexibility. Most katanas get forged from this steel type. 1060 sword steel is commonly used for sword forging. ![]()
