Made In The U.S.A.
Products marked with the Stars and Stripes are proudly made in the U.S.A.
Many customers have asked us to show which products are made in America, and we’ve begun working with our vendors to identify them. This information, however, is not available for all items nor does it imply that foreign merchandise is of lesser quality. We will continue to gather this information to assist our customers in making informed buying decisions, and will keep our website current with the latest information.
One of the remarkable features of these tool steels is the low draw temperature to achieve maximum torsion impact strength. Most drawing can be done in a kitchen oven! Or you can easily make a small and efficient draw furnace on your bench using furnace brick, a simple heat element and a kitchen oven heat control. Draw all steel shown one hour.
W-1 WATER HARDENING DRILL ROD Carbon - 1.00% Manganese - .40% Silicon - .20%
A fine-grained, commercial quality steel, W-1 can be used for tools, parts, dies or punches which require great hardness and a tough inner core for maximum strength. The sizes we carry should meet 99% of all requirements for pins in guns. HARDENING: Heat the part to 1450° - 1500° F., or slightly higher (up to 1600° F.) if unusual depth of hardness is required. If a furnace is not available, use 1450° Tempilaq. Hold at this temperature for a few seconds, then quench in an 8% brine solution. Do not use fresh water! To make a brine solution: Add ¾ lb. (340 g) of rock salt to one gallon of water. TEMPERING: Temper immediately. A one hour draw at the following temperatures will produce hardness on the Rockwell C scale as follows:
SPECS:
Rods are 18" in length.
