| Astralloy-V round bars have the same chemistry, uniform toughness and hardness as plate, from surface to core. Astralloy-V’s ultra-fine grain structure, free of massive carbide particles due to its lower carbon content, provides better machinability at its higher strength/hardness level than quenched and tempered alloys. Advantages: - Uniform hardness throughout the mass (340 BHN) to resist abrasion and promote slidability, and toughness to absorb impact without cracking.
- Maintains its toughness and hardness without brittleness at temperatures of up to -75°F (-60°C).
- Hardenability in the range of 550 BHN by impact or sliding action, without deformation or brittleness.
- Astralloy-V’s small oxide surface quickly disappears, exposing a slick, durable surface.
- Can be hot worked and allowed to air cool without loss of hardness or toughness and without warpage problems.
