About this deal

An alloy made of carbon, chromium, manganese, phosphorous, silicon and sulphur, silver steel gets its name from the high shine finish of the metal. Annealed in production to allow for machining, silver steel bars are spheroid in appearance to allow for maximum hardening. In short, no. When welded, silver steel goes brittle. A good alternative is to braze it using silver solder.

Hardness - Silver steel in an annealed state usually has a lower hardness and is designed to be hardened once the tool has been forged.We want to make it easy for you, so here are some key terms that will help you understand the range and applications a little better Silver Steel is made by machining tool grade steel into rods. The rod is precision ground to a specific tolerance and then polished to have a clean and smooth surface. The polishing process helps ensure the specific tolerance is maintained.

BS - This is an abbreviation for British Standard, which shows that the product has been tested according to this standard and has been found safeTensile strength - The tensile strength of the silver steel will determine how easy the material is to forge and how robust the end product will be when it has been manipulated from the silver steel. Silver steel with a low tensile stress is designed to break when under extreme stress and being pulled. Manufactured to BS 1407:1970 standards, silver steel's high carbon content allows the metal to be hardened to create higher wear-resistant tools. The addition of chromium into the mix enhances this durability and adds strength.
