Description
Product Overview
HARFINGTON high speed steel rods are precision-engineered for industrial and scientific applications. These polished round bars feature diameters ranging from 5.8mm to 8.1mm with a consistent 100mm length, providing versatility for various machining needs. Manufactured from high-speed steel, these rods deliver exceptional hardness (HRC 63-65), superior toughness, and excellent wear resistance. The uniform composition and fine grain structure ensure dimensional stability and consistent performance during turning, facing, drilling, and threading operations. Each rod undergoes polishing to create a smooth surface that minimizes friction and prevents crack formation during machining processes.

Usage
These steel rods are designed for professional industrial environments including machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and tool-making operations. They’re particularly suitable for creating precision components such as milling cutters, gravers, punch needles, bearing sleeve rods, and high-hardness ejection pins. The rods perform excellently in general purpose applications but are not recommended for working environments requiring high coaxiality requirements. Industrial technicians, machinists, and tool makers will appreciate the consistent performance across various metalworking applications including lathe operations, drill press work, and custom tool fabrication projects.
