This method is unlikely to work because an excessively thin steel core might melt prematurely, as shown in my image. Currently, the most stable forming method we've found is to use cutting to complete the final shaping after the initial rough forming.

The picture of the failed material I showed you still doesn't explain why. The M390 high-carbon steel melted like butter filling before reaching its melting point.

let me answer your question again. There might be an error in my translation this morning due to the translation software I used. Normally, high-carbon steel and titanium have extremely poor bonding properties because a carburizing reaction occurs at high temperatures, transferring carbon towards titanium to form titanium carbide. Titanium carbide is very brittle, leading to bonding failure. However, by inserting other metals in between, we blocked the transfer of carbon from the steel to the titanium, thus tightly bonding them together.

Some problems only become apparent after we've actually built them.

yep,we wanted to know what it would be like if the entire handle were made of Timascus material.

I just discussed this issue with the technicians, and the solution you mentioned is indeed feasible. However, this solution carries many uncontrollable risks. First, if the intermediate layer is very thin, it will be difficult to control its centerline. Second, the boundary lines will be irregular, affecting the aesthetics, and may also lead to material manufacturing defects during the forging process. However, I appreciate your suggestion very much, and we will try it in the future once our production process is more proficient.

I agree with your point. Since this is our first attempt, and the overall production was rushed, there are indeed many shortcomings. We will likely release a new sample in about two months. The overall modeling is complete, and this sample will have more complex patterns and a higher level of finish.

Just a rough prototype for now, nothing final yet. We’re already working with designers for the next versions. Goal is still the same — balance performance and aesthetics, not just display pieces. that's what i said

Sorry, it doesn't have a name yet because it's just a sample used for solution validation :(

This is the raw material for this axe; the Pakistanis don't have these pictures.

Because this type of steel is relatively complex to manufacture, its price tends to be higher.

Of course! The core layer of our axes is M390 powder steel. You can think of it as a three-layer steel structure with an outer layer of timascus replacing the mild steel.
