Silver Steel Round Bar 1" (25.4mm) x 333mm Mill Finish Excellent Machinability Good Weldability Ideal for Tool Making & Precision Engineering

1" (25.4mm) Diameter Silver Steel Round Bar

• Material: This round bar is made of silver steel, a high-carbon tool steel known for its high strength and ability to be hardened.

• Formability: Silver steel has poor formability, making it less suitable for processes that involve significant deformation or reshaping.

• Weldability: The material has good weldability, but due to its high carbon content, care must be taken to avoid cracking. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are recommended.

• Machinability: Silver steel round bar has excellent machinability, allowing it to be easily machined into precise shapes and sizes with a smooth finish.

• Shape: The product is a round bar, commonly used in tool making and precision engineering applications.

• Corrosion Resistance: The corrosion resistance of silver steel is poor. It is prone to rusting when exposed to moisture or corrosive environments unless properly protected with coatings or treatments.

• Diameter: The round bar has a diameter of 25.4mm (1"), a standard size suitable for various precision and tool-making applications.

• Finish: It comes with a mill finish, meaning the surface is in the condition as it comes from the rolling mill, with no additional surface treatments.

• Grade: Silver steel is often referred to as 1.2210 or 115CrV3, known for its ability to be hardened and its high wear resistance.

• Length: The round bar is provided in a length of 333mm.

• Weight per Metre: Each metre of this round bar weighs approximately 3.98 kg.

Typical Applications

• Tool Making: Used for making drill bits, taps, dies, punches, and other precision tools.
• Manufacturing: Suitable for components requiring high wear resistance and precision machining.
• Engineering: Ideal for parts that need to be hard and durable, such as spindles and shafts.
• Hobbyist Projects: Popular for model making and DIY projects due to its machinability and finish.
