Precision Ground Flat Stock (500mm)

The dimensional stability of ground flat stock combines with other useful characteristics including excellent resistance to cracking during heat treatment compared with other, more highly alloyed, cold work tools. Relatively soft and easy to machine. High wear resistance after heat treatment. Holds a good cutting edge. Suitable for EDM machining.
Typical applications: widely used in precision tools, machine knives, gauges, jigs, templates, punches, dies and machine parts.
The Cost Cutting Stock: extensive range of widths and thicknesses enables the selection of an appropriate size of ground flat stock to minimise material and machining costs.

Manufactured from BS4659 B01 grade steel equivalent to AISI 01 and Werk. No. 1.2510.

Quick Change Toolposts

Made of alloy case steel. All working surfaces are hardened and precision ground. Type T.00 - for lathe capacities up to 89mm centre. (Type T.00 B is supplied with extra bush reducing the bore from 16 to 11.2mm.)

Silver Steel

For tool room and general engineering. Applications include screwdrivers, punches, shafts, axles, pinions, pins, die posts, instrument parts, model parts, taps and drills for mild steel, engraver tools. High carbon content means that it can be hardened to give high wear resistance and chromium content adds strength and hardness.

Manufactured from
BS1407:1970 grade steel.

Typical hardness:
207-237HB with 285HB maximum.

Tensile strength:
45/55 T.P.S.I. (700/850 N/mm2).

Surface finish:
Better than 0.6 microns (25 micro inch) CLA (Centre Line Average).

Chemical analysis range:
Carbon 0.95 - 1.25%
Silicon 0.40% max
Manganese 0.25 - 0.45%
Phosphorous 0.045% max
Sulphur 0.045% max
Chromium 0.35 - 0.45%

Chemical analysis typical:
Carbon 1.13%
Silicon 0.22%
Manganese 0.37%
Phosphorous 0.014%
Sulphur 0.018%
Chromium 0.43%

Metric round sizes

Tolerances:
Up to 25mm plus 0 - 0.012mm.
