CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT...

This month we're featuring Stephen Gannon who made Mjolnir!



Mjolnir detail

He says: "It’s made from over 20 pieces of stainless steel, tig welded together, and then meticulously ground and sanded. The Celtic design and runes are electro etched. Most of the plate is 1/8” stainless, and the end pieces are 1/4”.

I used extruded aluminum on the handle (over the steel pipe)"

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING...

"Speedy Metals has always given me good raw material for a good price, and super fast shipping."
-James

DID YOU KNOW...?

...that metals get stronger as the size of their grains gets smaller?

But only to a point!

grain boundary

If the grains are smaller than 10 nanometers, they are thought to slip past each other like sand in a dune, weakening the metal.

But now, scientists have discovered that under certain conditions, a metal's strength can continue to increase at even smaller grain sizes - down to 3 nanometers.

This gives us a new way to think about strengthening metals - by engineering their grain surfaces to suppress grain sliding.
