PLEASE NOTE THIS ANVIL IS FOR PICKUP ONLY AT THARWA VALLEY FORGE. SHIPPING IS NOT AVAILABLE.
Cast steel anvil in 6150 carbon steel that is taller and thinner model than the standard stocky anvils.
6150 has a typical chemistry of Carbon 0.50%, Manganese 0.80%, Silicon 0.30%, Chromium 1.00%, Vanadium 0.15%. The main features making 6150 so attractive for anvils is not high HRC but toughness, wearability and the ability to harden deeper than for instance 1050 steel.
Design:
The anvil comes unpainted with the edges undressed.
Dressing the anvil is done by rounding the edges using a flap wheel on an angle grinder, or hand files. And the round horn ground nice and even to remove cast marks and the black paint. This dressing makes the anvil more useful, as forging with the sharp corners tend to pinch the steel and create cracks.
