Effect of Primary Carbides on the Sharpness of Kitchen Knives Made of 8Cr13MoV Steel

Abstract Although there are many primary carbides in the cutting edge of knives made of high-carbon martensitic steel, the effect of primary carbides on the sharpness of knives has not been clarified. In this paper, the evolution of primary carbides during the production process of 8Cr13MoV steel was presented. The effect of size and amount of primary carbides on the sharpness of knives was studied via employing rolling forging and diffusion annealing process, respectively. Results indicated that primary carbides easily fell off from cutting edge during cutting process, which would decrease the wear resistance of knives. The refinement of primary carbides could not only improve the wear resistance of cutting edge, but also weaken the fluctuation of sharpness during the service process of knives. By decreasing the amount of primary carbides, the wear resistance of knives would increase effectively, which improved the cutting performance effectively. Reducing the amount of primary carbides and refining the primary carbides in cutting edge were both effective ways to improve the sharpness of knives..
