Nanoflex

Ive read about this new kind of steel invented by Sandvik. That company is actually based very close to where I live btw.

Anyway, the nanoflex stuff is supposed to be very tough but still very flexibe/elastic. Dont know abuot the availability though. And price...

Aaahh!

A security leak!

:) :) :)

Dont go telling all our swedish secrets! ;)
We need all the advantage we can get to be able to beat the more experienced europeans :).

Well said, Markus! Just remember what happend with the hardox wearplate.

Ive certianly been impressed with Sandvik Hacksaw blades- of all the brands Ive tried theyve been the most satisfying to cut with. Interesting stuff.

Swedish quality...

I now have a sample piece of Nanoflex. Not the thickness or composite I was after (that comes later) but it will do for testing. This piece is a bonded laminate of 3 pieces of 1.4mm and has been plasma treated to offer the hardest surface possible.

Now how do I test it, any spinners or crushers want to try their luck at it? The piece is only 300 x 260mm though.

Paul

is that the Material from Sandvik in co-operation with Philips Paul?

never mind, i should look before i post. :)

Whats the weight of that piece, Paul?
Also, since we have no idea ourselves (us swedes that is :)) how good Nanoflex really is we very much would like to know what your tests shows...
