O1 tool steel
|
General purpose oil hardening tool steel which hardens at a relatively low temperature with
minimum distortion.
|
|
D2 tool steel
|
High carbon high chromium tool steel giving a good hardness with added toughness. This steel
can be vacuum hardened when minimum distortion is required.
|
|
D3 tool steel
|
Similar steel to D2 tool steel, this steel attains a slightly higher hardness and has good abrasion
resistance.
|
|
D6 tool steel
|
Popular European high carbon high chromium tool steel, with high hardness achievability and
good abrasion resistance, akin to D3 tool steel. |
|
A2 tool steel
|
Air hardening tool steel which is easier to machine than D2 or D3 but offers high abrasion
resistance with good toughness.
|
|
H13 tool steel
|
5% chromium hot work tool steel. This steel is air hardening with very little distortion. H13 tool steel
can be vacuum hardened and may be water cooled in service.
|
|
S1 tool steel
|
Excellent tough and shock resisting tool steel, with good abrasion resistance. When hardened
S1 has a good cutting ability with great toughness
|
|
P20 tool steel
|
Pre-hardened high tensile steel which is readily machineable. P20 can also give a higher hardness
than its supply condition and can be nitrided.
|
|
1.2767 tool steel
|
4.25% nickel steel, which achieves a good through hardness. 1.2767 is capable of taking a good
polish and is commonly used as a plastic mould steel.
|
|
M2 high speed steel
|
General purpose high speed steel. M2 which offer good wear resistance and superior toughness
and machineability.
|
|
420 stainless steel
|
13% chromium stainless steel which will achieve a high hardness. 420 stainless steel
gives a good polish and is resistant to attack from corrosive plastics.
|
|
1.2842 tool steel
|
A cold work tool steel which has high dimensional stability when heat treated, with good resistance
to cracking. |
|
M42 high speed steel
|
A high quality cobalt molybdenum high speed steel, suitable cor components that require high
hardness and superior cutting performance. |
