A2 Tool Steel

O1 Tool Steel

D2 Tool Steel

About: A2 is an air-hardening tool steel

containing five percent chromium. Replaces the
oil-hardening (O-1) when safer hardening, less
distortion, and increased wear resistance are
required. Provide an intermediate grade
between the oil-hardening and the high carbon,
high chromium D-2.

About: O1 is an oil-hardening, non-deforming

tool steel which can be hardened at relatively
low temperatures. Tools and dies made from
O1 will have good wearing qualities since the
tungsten and higher chromium content gives
improved wear resistance over the straight
manganese grades

About: O1 is an air-hardening, high carbon ,

high chromium tool steel with extremely high
wear resisting properties. It is a very deep
hardening steel and will be practically free from
size change after proper treatment. The high
percentage of chromium gives it mild corrosion
resisting properties in the harden condition.

Applications: blanking dies, punches, rolls,

forming dies, precision tools, mandrels, shear
blades & slitters, cutting tools for woodworking,
tooling for plastic injection, dowel pins,
hammers, industrial knives, wear inserts, etc.

Applications: blanking dies, bushings, forming

dies, master tools, forming rolls, gauges, trim
dies, etc.

Applications: blanking dies, forming dies,

coining dies, slitting cutters, forming rolls,
master tools, beading rolls, intricate punches,
threading dies, shear blades, wear parts, etc.

W1 Drill Rod
W-1 is the most popular, versatile, and least expensive grade of drill rod. Its high carbon contents allow it to be used often without heat treatment, for maintenance
applications. Treats evenly and provides toughness and maximum wear resistance. Features a high carbon content and fine grain structure.
Typical Analysis: Carbon .95-1.05,
Manganese .30-.40, Silicon .10-.25,
Phosphorus .025, Sulfur .025.

Brinell Hardness = 341

Characteristics: Wear Resistance: Low

Medium, Toughness: Low Medium,
Machinability: Medium - High

Heat Treatment: Heat thoroughly at

1425-1500F. Hold one-half hour per
inch of section, quench in water.
