lionSTEEL heat treatment procedure for all the blades

  • lionSTEEL does not have the heat treatment equipment inside its facility, for this reason we are supported by a certified third part.
  • Third part is: Trattamenti Termici Todesco SAS.    ISO 9001:2015  (first issue 06 August 2007)
  • Third part generates a Quality Control Certificate every run of heat treatment done.
  • lionSTEEL can make a second HRC control inside the company with its own machine.
  • All the HRC results must stay inside the fork of our data sheet.
  • Every steel used by lionSTEEL has its own data sheet.
  • The values represent, for us, the right hardness/elasticity balance.
  • Value forks on the steels data sheets are the following ones:
