Silver Steel

Kormax supply only genuine english made silver steel of the highest quality.

Silver steel is a versatile high carbon tool steel that is ground to very close tolerances. It is so called because of its highly polished appearance created by the extremely fine surface finish. The high carbon content of this BS1407 Silver Steel means that it can be hardened to give considerable wear resistance and the chromium content increases strength and hardenability. It is readily machinable as supplied in the spheroidised annealed condition.
