This Silver Steel Round Bar is suitable for applications requiring precise machining and good weldability. However, it has poor formability and low corrosion resistance, which makes it more suitable for uses where those properties are not critical. The mill finish provides a standard surface appearance straight from the manufacturing process.
-
Material: Silver Steel is a high-carbon tool steel known for its ability to be hardened, making it ideal for applications requiring a durable and wear-resistant material.
-
Dimensions:
-
Diameter Imperial: 5/32"
-
Diameter: 4mm, suitable for precise and small-scale applications.
-
Length: 333 mm, a common length for tool-making and machining purposes.
-
Formability: Rated as poor, indicating that the material is difficult to form without breaking, making it less suitable for applications requiring significant bending or shaping.
-
Weldability: Rated as good, suggesting that the material can be effectively welded using appropriate techniques, allowing for strong joins.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Rated as poor, meaning the material is susceptible to rust and corrosion if not properly treated or maintained. This requires protective coatings or regular maintenance in corrosive environments.
-
Machinability: Rated as excellent, indicating that the material can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to precise tolerances. This makes it a popular choice for making tools, shafts, and precision components.
-
Finish: Mill Finish is the surface finish that the material has after manufacturing, typically rough and unfinished. This is common for materials intended to be further machined or processed.
-
Weight: With a weight per metre of 0.1 kg, this round bar is lightweight, making it easy to handle and work with in smaller projects.
