1/4" X 1/2" O-1, Oil Hardening Ground Flat Stock, 18" Length

Features: Stock is dimensionally stable - use it for the most intricate work Deep hardening characteristics and fine grain structure Machines freely - fully spheroidized, annealed Full Length identification - eliminates confusion with other steels Nominal Analysis (AISI 01): Carbon - .90 Chromium - .50 Manganese - 1.20 Tungsten - .50 Vanadium - .20

Features: The 5% chromium content makes this steel especially desirable for punches and dies to be used in long production runs since it gives the tools far longer life. Up to 50% more pieces per sharpening can be produced than with oil hardening steel High wear resistance is also ideal for punches and dies to stamp silicon, stainless steels, monel metal and other types of abrasive material Maintains close dimensional accuracy throughout the heat treating process. The wide 75 degree hardening range makes this virtually foolproof Full-length identification eliminates confusion with other ...
