GobblerForge Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 As the title suggests, I am looking to identify the steel in some scarifier teeth from a road grader I have access to. Most of the teeth have carbide tips also. They are discarded when the carbide is gone or mostly gone. I figure the teeth have to be pretty good steel but I have had no luck finding info. Anyone know what they're made of? Gobbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'd guess that they were a tough, abrasion resistant steel of medium carbon content to resist cracking under impact---like AR used for grader blades. The carbide knobbies dealing with the high hardness for wear part of the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobblerForge Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks Thomas. I would agree with your assessment, but it still doesn't answer my question. Any thoughts on the actual type of steel? I'm thinking of incorporating into some Damascus but I really want to know what it is first.

ThomasPowers Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Probably have to hunt down the manufacturer and see if they will tell what it's made from. Anybody know the correct name for these things? I have a handfull I thought of casting in sabot rounds for my cannon---but I ended up selling that vehicle before I got around to putting it out of my misery...
