Description
1075 High Carbon Steel
Note: All steel is sold by the foot. When picking the quantity of 2, equals a 2 foot bar. Our steel bars come in 4 foot lengths (CPM steels are in 3 foot lengths). Please provide your cutting instructions in the shopping cart left of the total price in the box “Special instructions for seller”.
If you do not provide specific cutting instructions and order a 4 foot length or more (6,8,10,12 feet etc.), then all bars will be cut in half into multiple 2 foot lengths.
3 foot length order will ship in 3 foot lengths.
5 foot order will be shipped in a 2 foot and 3 foot length in a 3 foot box.
Any bars over 3 feet are very expensive to ship and will be cut to fit in a 2 or 3 foot box.
1075 A steel frequently used for larger blades and swords, but used just as regularly in everything from bowies to kitchen knives, 1075 is tough, durable, and hypo-eutectic, which means it is very forgiving during heat treatment across a wide range of quenching fluids employed by the knife community–a very convenient option when one does not have access to some heat treat equipment and materials that benefit hyper-eutectoid steels like 1095 or W2.
Our 1075 comes pickled, annealed, and slightly oversized for convenient forging although we also carry it in thicknesses some stock removal customers find more convenient. Aside from its durability and toughness along, it has become an excellent steel choice for mixing with 1045 or 15n20 for damascus production.
