AISI 0-1 Oil Hardening
This Oil Hardening grade gives excellent performance where relatively high hardness and deep penetration with minimum distortion is required. 0-1 is easy to machine, safe in hardening, with good wear resistance and toughness.
AISI 0-6 Oil Hardening
This grade of tool steel offers outstanding ease of machining. These graphitic particles added increased resistance to wear and galling in service. 0-6 is safe and easy to handle during heat treatment, due to the broad hardening range. Flats and squares sizes are regular 0-6 material, rounds are Graph-MO*.
AISI A-2 Air Hardening 5% Chrome
This is a alloy air hardening tool steel of 5% chromium content. A-2 has the ability to hold a keen cutting edge, has good abrasion resistance, good toughness and fair machinability. This grade has excellent non-deforming properties and should be considered for medium long run dies.
AISI D-2 Air Hardening 12% Chrome
This grade has a high degree of hardness and wear resistance combined with toughness. Distortion is reduced due to air hardening and it has better stability after heat treatment then any other cold work die steel.
AISI S-7 Shock Resisting Steel
This is a shock resisting steel with exceptional impact properties. It has physical properties that make it suitable for an extremely wide range of tool and die applications where shock resistance, medium hot-work properties, ease of machining, and safe heat treatment are important.
All cold work grades of tool steel, in the popular thicknesses, are stocked in widths of 30" . This allows a wide range of special sizes that may be sawed from these wide Tool steel widths.
