the iron dwarf Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Got some round 35 mm ( 1 3/8" ) and wondered if it is good for hammer heads or other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Should be fine for hammers, punches, hotcuts, hardies, etc Do not forge the steel below 850-1100°C. After forging allow to cool slowly use as is or it hardens and tempers relatively easily, possible to flame/induction harden for case hardening type finish EN24 was originally introduced for use in the motor vehicle and machine tool industries for gears, pinions, shafts, spindles and the like. Suitable to produce parts where good strength and fatigue resistance is called for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
