Kallsme Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 This anvil weigh allmost 10Kg, and it tok about 15 minutes to forge, and about 20 minutes to machine and grind. I use SS-2541 in this anvil and allmost in all my tools in the forge, exept in the hammer dies, but allmost eweryting else to use with the airhammer.

T-Gold Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Can anyone translate that specification to American standards? Sounds like stainless but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallsme Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 The USA AISI standard for this steel is 4340. It is not a tool steel actually, but it has wery good abrade ( i hope thas the word)quallity, and it much sheaper than real tool steel.

sandpile Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hello Kalsme'n-- You may have been inspired by Mr. Postman, but you will inspire many -right here. Thanks for showing us a little of what you and shop can do. You must have a very good(fine touch) feel for your work. It really impresses me. Our 4340 is cheaper here also. We use it every chance that we can. Thanks for joining us. Chuck Bennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Gold Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Thanks, Kalsme'n. 4340 seems like a good choice for a forged anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenchcrack Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Kallsme'n, beautiful work! 4340 would make a beautiful anvil if you should choose to harden the face. When will you try a bigger anvil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I know several people who have small anvils for the hardy hole of their big anvil some things just need a smaller horn. Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolano Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Thats really impressive, even if you did cheat and use modern machine tools . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
