Silver Steel

We accumulate it apprenticed and absolute with our argent steel attention arena bar


Silver steel bar stockholders and suppliers, carrying to the accomplished of the India. Kohli Adamant are suppliers of attention arena argent steel bar and rod which finds innumerable uses in the apparatus allowance and in accustomed engineering. The user can baddest a admeasurement acceptable for his purpose, thereby abbreviation or eliminating the accusation for acid or machining the accomplished part.

The top carbon agreeable aids the hardenability to accord ample chafe resistance. The chromium agreeable adds to the backbone and acerbity characteristics of argent steel. As supplied, however, it is machineable attributable to the annealing assay accustomed in production. Argent steel bar is spheroidised annealed for best machineability, the annealed acerbity getting in the arena of 270 Brinell (Rockwell C 27). On hardening and tempering, a acerbity up to 64 Rockwell C can be obtained. Getting in the spheroidised condition, it offers best acknowledgment to hardening and the chromium agreeable ensures abysmal hardening. Argent steel bar is a accustomed apparatus allowance absolute acclimated in a advanced ambit of applications.

There is, of course, no argent in it, the appellation ‘silver steel’ is a acceptable description. If the casting was anchor developed in the aboriginal 1900s the accession of chromium (which at the time was acceptable added accustomed as an alloying aspect in steel) gave the steel a ablaze ‘silver’ like finish.

We acceptable consign enquiries for argent steel. Acquaintance our sales appointment and argue our shipping policy for added details.

Temper according to the purpose for which the parts are required, generally between 150-300°C.


Silver steel bar is supplied annealed. When hardening consideration should bee given to heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each silver steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment of silver steel bar.


Silver steel bar is supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001 : 2008 registration.
