So what exactly is FireSteel.com FireSteel composed of?

Making FireSteel.com FireSteel

The exact composition of FireSteel.com FireSteels was developed through years of trial and error to make a FireSteel that is robust enough for hard use in the field while still producing its trademark shower of white hot sparks.

Although the specific FireSteel.com formula and manufacturing process is closely guarded, we can reveal that these FireSteels are made from a select combination of rare earth elements and iron collectively known as “Ferrocerium”.  “Ferro” comes from the Latin for “iron”.  And “cerium” is the main constituent of a group of similar rare earth elements contained in FireSteel.

In future FireSteel.com articles we will explore in depth the rare earth elements classified under the general heading of “cerium”.

In addition to the iron and cerium metals in ferrocerium, magnesium and lesser amounts of other elements are added to the mix and appreciably change the sparking characteristics of the FireSteel.com FireSteel rods.

By varying the proportions of individual rare earth elements, iron, and magnesium, the FireSteel.com FireSteel formula produces an excellent shower of white hot sparks. And importantly, these FireSteel.com FireSteels are tough and durable.
