Robin, maybe you can find out what the razor blade people are using for
raw stock?


That's an excellent idea as well. Very similar application.

Just looked on Google. I'll have to do a more in-depth crawl tomorrow.
A fair amount of junk. I get the feeling these are guarded
processes...

If Gillette is still doing what they did when they were my customer, their
steel stock is a custom alloy and they'll cut the dick off of anybody who
makes it public. It says so right in their contracts. d8-)
Back about 1960, a major razor blade manufacturer bought all the rails
from the Irondale, Bancroft and Ottawa Railway (the IB&O was so slow
it never got past Bird's Creek, just outside of Bancroft) This was a
light rail rolled in IIRC Birmingham. A few months latter Gillette
brought out their "Super Blue Blade".
