Collezione: Rod - Drill - Silversteel - W-1 Water Hardening
Round rod.
Material is silversteel. Can be water hardened and tempered.
For punches dies and high strength machine parts. High abrasion resistance and high toughness when hardened. 100% machinability. Requires heat treating to harden.
Refer engineering guides online for W-1 hardening requirements.
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.
Also known as drill rod.
Small diameters may not be perfectly straight.
