Length: 333mm
Finish: Mill Finish
Grade: Silver Steel
Weight/Metre (Kg): 0.75

Key Features:

• Material Composition:
  Silver Steel is a high-carbon tool steel renowned for its excellent hardening and tempering capabilities. This makes it ideal for crafting durable, wear-resistant precision tools and mechanical components.

• Dimensions:

  • Diameter: 11mm
    The 11mm diameter provides a robust and precise round bar suitable for detailed machining and tool-making processes.
  • Length: 333mm
    This practical length ensures sufficient material for multiple applications without excessive waste.

• Finish:

  • Mill Finish:
    The mill finish offers a smooth surface ready for further machining or finishing processes, retaining the metal’s natural look for easy identification and assessment.

• Mechanical Properties:

  • Weldability: Good
    Silver Steel can be welded using appropriate techniques. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are recommended to prevent cracking and maintain material integrity.
  • Formability: Poor
    Due to its high carbon content, Silver Steel is not easily formed or bent. It is best suited for precise machining into specific shapes and components.
  • Machinability: Excellent
    Silver Steel is highly machinable, allowing for the creation of detailed and intricate parts with high precision. It responds well to cutting, drilling, and other machining processes.

• Corrosion Resistance:

  • Poor:
    Silver Steel does not offer significant resistance to corrosion. Protective coatings or finishes are recommended for applications where the material will be exposed to moisture or corrosive environments.

Applications:

• Tool Making:
  Ideal for producing high-precision tools such as drill bits, reamers, punches, and gauges. The material’s ability to be hardened and tempered makes it perfect for cutting and shaping tools.
• Mechanical Components:
  Suitable for creating shafts, axles, and other components that require high strength and wear resistance.
• Engineering Projects:
  Used in the manufacture of various mechanical parts that demand high durability and resistance to deformation.
• DIY and Hobbyist Projects:
  Popular among hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts for making custom tools and mechanical parts due to its excellent machinability and strength.

Usage Instructions:

1. Handling:
   Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling Silver Steel, as the edges and surfaces can be sharp.
2. Cutting and Machining:
   Utilize high-quality cutting tools to machine the Silver Steel to your desired shape and size. Ensure tools are sharp and work at the recommended speeds to achieve the best results.
3. Heat Treatment:
   For applications requiring enhanced hardness, Silver Steel can be heat-treated. Follow proper procedures for hardening and tempering to achieve the desired mechanical properties.
4. Welding (if needed):
   Preheat the material before welding and use suitable filler materials. Post-weld heat treatment is recommended to relieve stresses and prevent cracking.

Packaging:

• The 11mm Silver Steel round bar is supplied in a length of 333mm, ensuring convenient handling and storage. Each piece is carefully inspected to meet quality standards, providing a reliable material for your precision projects.
