When choosing Tool and Die Steel S1 bars, consider hardness, wear resistance, toughness, machinability, heat treatment capabilities, and the specific requirements of the application to ensure optimal performance and durability.
Tool and Die Steel S1 bars resist corrosion due to their alloy composition, which includes elements like chromium and molybdenum. These elements form a protective oxide layer, enhancing resistance to oxidation and rust.
Tool and Die Steel A2 Bars, are specifically used for making cold work tools, dies, and molds. A2 steel is also known for its wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability characteristics, making it suitable for punching, blanking, and forming die fabrication. Its high strength along with significant abrasion resistance also aids in using it for cutting, drilling, and shaping tool applications. This is air-hardening and remains sharp on the edges, thus well-suited for applications related to precise tools and intricate designs. Applications such as gauges, blades, and fixture typically require durability and performance, and A2 steel bars are applied for that purpose.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
