[TheForge] steel composition

Wed Mar 12 07:20:00 2003

        Chuck, I have some known 1095 and know the long bursting sparkler
effect of the high carbon on that spark test.  I've never messed with L6
......is that a chrome alloy? that yields a long red single or slightly
spliting spark?

        Just curious

Ralph
