Blue Paper Steel
Blue steel is also called Blue paper steel because of the blue paper wrapped around billets during manufacturing. Hitachi also manufactures it in Japan.
Blue steel is made from the same iron stock as white steel, and it contains high amounts of Carbon with few contaminants.Blue steel differs from white steel because of the addition of tungsten and Chromium in its composition. These two elements give blue steel better edge retention and corrosion resistance than White steel, but it remains non-stainless steel.
The Blue paper steel is manufactured in three grades; #1, #2, and super high carbon steel
