Tool steel flat stock

S7 also has great toughness, deep hardenability, and excellent machinability SS — intended for application to machined-cavity, plastic molds. Characterised by high strength and toughness in relatively large sections. Pre hardened and tempered can be further surface hardened by flame or induction hardening and by nitriding.

As-quenched surface hardness usually ranges from approximately 37 to 43 HRC. Reasonably hardenability. Excellent forgeability and weldability, although alloy steel practice should be used in welding to minimize susceptibility to weld cracking. Excellent forgeability. Fair machinability. Powdered Metals CPM 1V — Good combination of compressive yield strength and very high toughness for heavy duty cold work operations, or to extend life where S7 is the only tool steel that works. Typical application hardness for cold work , HRC.

CPM 1V may also be considered for warm or hot work applications for improved wear resistance over H13 where heat checking is not the primary mode of tool failure. Wear resistance and toughness better than D2 and A2, respectively! Recommended alternative to D2, M2, A2, or higher alloyed PM products to solve edge chipping or breakage problems and still provide excellent wear resistance.

Typical application hardness HRC for optimum combination of wear resistance and toughness. Typical application hardness or HRC. May also be considered for warm or hot work applications for abrasion resistance.

Wear resistance up to 4 to 8 times, better than D2 or M2 with comparable toughness. Typical application hardness HRC for optimum combination of properties. Excellent for edge retention on HSLA steels. The highest level of wear resistance of ANY tool steel. Tougher alternative to tungsten carbides, typical application hardness or HRC. Can be used for temperatures approching degress fahrenheit.

Works for most applications and eliminates the need for double wrapping or using. First Time Here? Sign Up. Lost your password? O1 Flat Ground , is an oil-hardening, non-deforming tool steel which can be hardened at relatively low temperatures. Tools and dies made from O1 Flat Ground will have good wearing and abrasive qualities since the tungsten and higher chromium content gives improved wear resistance.

O1 Flat Ground is ground to a surface finish of up to 35Ra on six sides and is free from defects and decarburization. Sold in annealed state to be heat-treated. Resistance to Heat Softening.
