2. Description of the Grand Way Fire Starter with Ferro Shaft
Tourist fire starter has a shaft made of a pyrophoric (ferrocerium) alloy. Its composition is dominated by cerium and lanthanum mixed with neodymium, praseodymium and iron. This alloy, also known as "Auer's metal", forms a spark when rubbed.
A strip of hardened steel with a serrated end acts as an armchair (or die cutter). When it strikes the rod, chips are broken out of the metal. Temperature During this process, it locally rises to 900-1100 degrees Celsius. Heated chips, when interacting with air, which contains oxygen, flare up. With the resulting sheaf of sparks, pre-prepared tinder is set on fire: moss, tree bark, grass, fluffed cotton wool, bandage, toilet paper and other materials that can instantly ignite. The tinder must be dry.
The Grand Way 41009 AN fire starter is equipped with a cylinder-shaped metal case. For better grip, the surface was made textured. The samethe thread is also present on the "cap" of the rod. The cutter and flint are fixed with a chain. A lanyard hole is provided at the bottom of the case. The end of the cylinder is equipped with a miniature liquid compass.
The Black Oxide coating protects the instrument from corrosion, scuffs, prevents glare on the metal, and generally improves the appearance.
Lightweight and compact accessory will not burden you during the trip. You can put it in your pocket or hang it from your belt so that it is always at hand.
If normal matches are dampOr the lighter fails, a ferro-alloy flint and steel will help out. It works equally effectively in any weather: both dry and wet. The average "life" is about 1000 kindlings (that's about 3000 hits on the rod).
If the steel is suddenly lost, you can use any sharp metal object instead to create sparks (for example, tourist knife, scraper etc.).
