Made in USA 0-1 Oil Hardening Flat Stock 2"x5/32"x36"

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 ...

Precision Brand® Ground Flat Stock is made from general purpose tool steel. Ideal material for tools, dies, punches, templates, stripper plates, and general precision machine parts. Pre-ground on all surfaces to close tolerances. An electric furnace melt tool steel. Fully spheroidized structure. An oil hardening tool steel that maintains high abrasion and wear resistance. It is ready for toolroom use and has excellent toughness and machinability characteristics.

The flat stock profile can be cut to your desired length. It is perfect for unique custom parts such as flat plates, manifolds, and floor mounts.

Our No. 498 Low Carbon Ground Flat Stock is a true free machining steel with the best machinability of any ground flat stock. On a relative machinability rating of 100 for AISI 1018 steel, our No. 498 low carbon ground flat stock has a machinability rating of 137. Because of its free machining characteristics, you get longer cutting tool life, better finish, faster production and lower machining costs. Features: Substantial cost reductions over tool steel ground flat stock. There are savings up to 60 percent because this a low carbon steel and furnished in 24" lengths. This means that you ...
