Ball bearing steel
Supplies Ball bearing steel of all types, along with carbon steel and specialty balls, to OEM's around the world. Also offers platinum balls, brass balls, gold, titanium, aluminum, carbon and plastic balls.
Spring steel
Carbon spring steel is held in a wide range of sizes. Detailed below are our most common specifications. Carbon steel strip and spring steel sheet is available most commonly in the hardened and tempered condition, though certain sizes are available in the annealed condition. Round and flat bar is stocked in the as rolled condition. Most spring steel specifications are held to British Standard steel specifications including BS1449 & BS970.
Alloy steel
Alloy steel is steel alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts of between 1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties. Alloy steels are broken down into two groups: low alloy steels and high alloy steels. The difference between the two is somewhat arbitrary: Smith and Hashemi define the difference at 4.0%, while Degarmo, et al., define it at 8.0 %.[1][2] Most commonly, the phrase "alloy steel" refers to "low alloy" steels.

Annealing:

Annealed at 770 to 850°C. Soak thoroughly at this temperature and control furnace cool.
Hardening:
For best results harden M42 in a vacuum or atmosphere furnace, or in a properly rectified salt bath. Pre heat throughly to 820 to 870°C, transfer to the high temperature salt bath or furnace. The exact hardening temperature to use will depend on the type of work being treated, but in general M42 components should be hardened from the range of 1160 to 1180°C in salt, or 1180 to 1190°C in atmosphere or vacuum furnaces. After a short hold at the hardening temperature, quench the M42 component without further soaking into salt at 540 to 595°C or warm oil. If salt quenched allow the M42 component to equalise at the bath temperature and then complete the quench in still air. The maximum temperature of the M42 component before tempering shoud be 65°C. Larger components should not be allowed to remain at room temperature without tempering.
Tempering:
M42 components can be tempered between 510 to 595°C. For M42 high speed steel components a minimum tempering temperature of 540°C is recommended to provide suitable relief to the hardening stresses. Triple tempering is recommended with a minimum of two hours at temperature per cycle. The M42 components should be cooled in still air to room temperature between tempering treatments.
