I've gotten some more 52100 in 1/2"+ and 3/4" diameters. This steel comes from a bearing factory that normally sells the steel back to their supplier, so it's not usually available. this is the vacum re-melted steel, and seems to be of very good quality. I haven't found an iclusion yet, and I've forged over 70 feet of the stuff personally.

My cost has gone up on the 3/4" bars, and gone down on the 1/2" bars, so heres the new price breakdown.

3/4" bars are $4 each and will have a minimum length of 11" with an average of 11.75" and lengths possible up to 13.75" (These bars run .760" diameter)

1/2"+ bars are $3.50 each and have a minimum length of 11" with an average of 12" and lengths up to 14.5" (These bars run .560" diameter)

I have a total of 100 of each of these sizes, and the steel will be sold first come first served

I also have a small bundle of a dozen bars of 1/2" steel that are 10.5" long, I'll sell the bundle for $30 (SOLD)

Tony,

What mill is the 52100 from? Do you have mill specs for it? And what general forging and HT practices have you had success with for this batch?

Thanks,

John Frankl
 
I don't have the spec's, I'm afraid it's considered scrap from the point I get it, and as such I'd have to get each piece analyzed, which would drive the price way up :)

I've had good success with the steel quenching in light oil, and tripple tempering. As for forging, it's tough under the hammer, but very predictable. The main concern is over heating. I use mostly coal for forging, and I have to keep a close eye on it to keep from overheating. It's easier with gas, since the view is unobstructed.

I hope that helps!
Tony
