Erasteel Silver Steel at AIMS
Silver steel (also known as ground flat stock or precision ground round) is available in both metric and imperial sizes. The Erasteel silver steel supplied through AIMS is water hardened — meaning it responds to water quenching during heat treatment to achieve a hard, wear-resistant surface suitable for cutting tools, punches, gauges and precision components.
Toolmaking and Precision Applications
Silver steel's tight dimensional tolerance (ground to close limits) makes it a first choice when you need stock that's ready to work with minimal preparation. It's widely used for:
- Punches, reamers and mandrels
- Gauges and measuring tools
- Small shafts and spindles requiring hardening
- Die and toolmaking applications
