1/2" (12.7mm) Silver Steel Round Bar
Material Characteristics:
-
Material: Silver Steel
- Grade: Silver Steel (also known as tool steel or drill rod)
- Silver steel is a high-carbon steel alloyed with chromium and tungsten, known for its hardness and wear resistance. It is commonly used for making tools and precision instruments.
Physical Properties:
-
Shape: Round Bar
- The silver steel bar has a circular cross-section.
-
Diameter: 12.7mm (1/2 inch)
- The diameter of the bar is 12.7 millimeters, equivalent to 1/2 inch.
-
Length: 333mm
- The length of the bar is 333 millimeters.
Mechanical Properties:
-
Formability: Poor
- Silver steel has poor formability due to its high carbon content and hardness. It is brittle and prone to cracking when subjected to bending or forming processes.
-
Weldability: Good
- It has good weldability compared to other high-carbon steels. However, welding may require preheating and post-weld heat treatment to prevent cracking and maintain properties.
-
Machinability: Excellent
- Silver steel is renowned for its excellent machinability. It can be easily machined to precise dimensions and smooth finishes, making it suitable for applications where accuracy is crucial.
Additional Characteristics:
-
Corrosion Resistance: Poor
- Similar to other high-carbon steels, silver steel has poor corrosion resistance. It requires protective coatings or treatments to prevent rusting and corrosion in humid or corrosive environments.
-
Weight/Metre: 0.99 Kg
- The weight of the bar per meter length is approximately 0.99 kilograms
