What can be done from the old bearing

It all began with this "armrest» - www.proza.ru/2012/04/06/1380, And so when I read "Megabayan» forum2/topic392125.html"> forum2/topic392125.html and does become unbearable ... No, not to batten down, but seriously interested in Damascus. Yes, there is still two friends tried blacksmiths forge Damascus, Pomaia, but spit on this matter. Ironically, welding packages special efforts did not deliver (very helpful Hansa and, in particular, the post of Anton Zhuykova (aka Nozhedel). Nakovana different composition packages, etch, everything is fine, but the question arose, what with all this good do? The fact is that the knife had never done, well, almost. Axes did, adze, etc. tool, but with knives ... start with a simple monostaley (sorry to spoil packs ). First, U8, 65G, 60S2A, CVH, ShKh15. On this day practiced descents, heat treatment, but a lot more then. So, yesterday went to light a neighbor brought a piece of the cage from the old bearing. And what came of it. It will be a little bit photo gallery, if you want to break, filmed on the phone.

First piece of metal is necessary to properly clean



Then rubbed with acetone for degreasing and horn. Straighten necessary.



Straightening a piece of the cage goes under the hammer. It turns out the band, which in size
unfetters


Now you have to measure, verify that the size (thickness of the plate), was the same



Then do a preliminary grinding wedge



It so



Yes, deliberately missed the annealing after forging. Operation for ShKh15 intricate, absolutely not photogenic, but without it be put on the grinder is not necessary, no tape is not enough. Solid infection.
Now is welded to the shank rod, it was convenient to harden.



I heated in the furnace for quenching the workpiece. And this is a delicate matter, it is necessary that quenched part was warmed evenly. Considering that the slopes are summarized in 1 mm, and a thickness of butt 4.5mm at the moment, it is not necessary to yawn.



After warming up to the quenching temperature, quenched in oil. The band did not do as a next time



After all the torture, harvesting goes on vacation (in the sense of leave).
