Where can I get round stock S30v/BG42?

[lreed]

Hello guys! I am planning to start a small project to kill some weekend time . Does anyone know where I can get a 6.5"~7" long, 1/2" diameter round stock S30V or BG42 rod?

Thanks a lot!

Probably from the people who make those steels. Crucible for the S30V and Timken Latrobe for the BG42. Not sure what you'll find, but if it's available, they'll know.

BG-42 is a bearing steel and might be found in the stock you wish. CPM S30V was developed specifically for the cutlery industry and I will guess maybe a big problem in getting it out of the warehouse in round stock form.

Thanks!

I will try to contact with Timken Latrobe's sales to see if I can get one.
