Key Features & Benefits
- Centreless ground finish — provides excellent dimensional accuracy and a bright, smooth surface straight from the bar with no further machining required for many applications.
- High-carbon tool steel — approximately 1% carbon and 0.95% chromium gives good wear resistance in the as-supplied condition and responds well to heat treatment.
- Hardenable and temperable — can be water or oil quenched to achieve high hardness (up to approximately 64 HRC), then tempered to the desired working hardness for tooling applications.
- 1000mm standard length — generous working length for cutting multiple components, reducing waste and keeping stock on hand for future jobs.
When to Use This Product
Choose this 8mm silver steel round bar for precision work where dimensional accuracy and a fine surface finish matter. Use it as-supplied for pins, dowels, and shafts that need a close tolerance fit, or heat treat it for punches, dies, engraving tools, and wear components. Silver steel machines cleanly on a lathe or mill and can be cut to length with a hacksaw or abrasive disc.
