Brian C. Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I am junking an old lawn mower & was curious as to what type of steel these are & if it would be any good for forging :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 probably around 1035 to 1040 carbon steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Zietman Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 might be more. They are definately hardenable to some degree, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 In one of the files in here on found steels it lists lawn mower blades and carbon content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveA Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 A metallurgist once told me 1070, but that was for a couple specific brands. Toro was one, I think. Anyway, it never hurts to add to the stash. I have a small pile of mower blades myself, and someday I'll use a piece for something...
