Austenitic stainless steels cannot harden via heat treatment. Instead, these steels work harden (they attain hardness during their manufacture and formation).Feb 9, 2018
Can all steel be heat treated?
All steel has to be treated in order to be used in commercial products. The heat treatment of steel generally always involves annealing, quenching, and tempering.
Is AEB-L good steel?
So AEB-L is an expertly designed steel, balancing high hardness with good corrosion resistance, and maxing out the amount of carbide that still maintains high toughness, sharpness, and blanking performance for razors. Those qualities make it a good knife steel in many ways as well.Mar 4, 2019
Is AEBL steel stainless?
52100 is one of the most well respected carbon steels, and is well known for its small carbides, high toughness, and high edge stability, so it's impressive that AEB-L was able to beat it in these categories, while also having greater wear resistance and being a stainless steel.Aug 1, 2016
Does AEB-L steel rust?
AEB-L is a true stainless steel with 13% Chromium or higher, but this naming is terrible because it can still stain. That being said, you would have to leave it wet with neutral water for a long time before it rusts. With something acidic or basic it will take less time to react, but it will still take a while.

Is AEB-L steel Magnetic?
It is supposed to be magnetic as it is a martensitic stainless steel.Dec 5, 2015
Is AEB-L sharpening easy?
Aeb-l has very high edge stability and reasonably good edge holding when heat treated to higher hardness. It also has very fine grain so it is easy to work with and sharpen.
