Drill Rod & Silversteel

Round rod.

Material is silversteel. Can be water hardened and tempered.

Hardening

  • Heat slowly to between 760 and 800°C. The upper temperature should be used for lower carbon content and the lower temperature range for higher carbon content.

  • Austenitise until the temperature is uniform and quench into well-agitated water.

  • Approximate quench hardness is 65 to 69 Rc.

Tempering.

  • Temper immediately after hardening, preferably before the reaching room temperature.

  • Temper for a minimum of 1 hour at temperatures between 180 - 350°C, depending on the final hardness required.
