    Default What the hell is this steel alloy?

    Its some type of antiabrasive steel priced at nearly 10euro per kg and is supplied in 15mm plates. Its plasmacut and has an funny wavy pattern and features large cracks halfway through the plates. It hqs diamond plates printed on it and ive heard it might be "casculine" but i cant find anything on that20210720_100312.jpg

    Probably steel clad with a chromium manganese hard facing surface, commonly used in jaw crushers as manganese work hardens.

    Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

    yep seems about right, kinda buzzkill when i realized steel clad didnt mean they demolished 2 sheets to get them to bond, it seems chrome carbide is most common for this
    its used in some large cyclone supposedly for seperating out dust and sand, its at a metal recycling facility shortly after a large "shredder" that rips pretty much anything metal into small pieces
