Damasteel USA is the only factory authorized dealer of Damasteel in the United States. If you buy it somewhere else, are you really sure it's Damasteel? The reason why the RSP steel give superior performance is found in the solidification structure. The coarse carbide structure of the conventional steels limits the fracture strength. The carbide clusters act like fracture initiation sites on a certain stress level. The substantially smaller carbides in the rapidly solidified material inhibit fracture initiation until the stress level is nearly doubled. The powder steels have around twice the fracture strength of conventional steels. The best combination of hardness and strength is found mostly in the rapidly solidified powder steels. Material of Damasteel: C (Carbon) Si (Silicon) Mn (Manganese) Cr (Chromium) Mo (Molybdenum) V (Vanadium).
