Tool Steel Supplier

Steel  C45  Round Bar  is an unalloyed medium carbon steel, which is also a general carbon engineering steel. C45 is a medium strength steel with good machinability and excellent tensile properties. C45 round steel is generally supplied in the black hot rolled or occasionally in the normalised condition, with a typical tensile strength range 570 – 700 Mpa and Brinell hardness range 170 – 210 in either condition. It does not however respond satisfactorily to nitriding due to a lack of suitable alloying elements. C45 round bar steel is equivalent to  EN8  or  080M40 . Steel C45 bar or plate is suitable for the manufacture of parts such as gears, bolts, general-purpose axles and shafts, keys and studs. 1. Supply Range of Steel C45 Round Bar C45 Steel Round Bar: diameter 8mm – 3000mm C45 Steel Plate: thickness 10mm – 1500mm  x width 200mm – 3000mm C45 Steel Flat Bar: 200mm – 1000mm Square C45 Steel: 20mm-800mm Hexagon Steel. ...

What is T1 High Speed tool steel ? AISI/ASTM T1 tool steel is one of the original tungsten high speed steels, although all tungsten steel grades are used to a limited extent because of the cost and questionable availability of tungsten. Of the T group steels, the general purpose T1 tool steels and the high-vanadium-cobalt T15 are most commonly used. T1 high speed steel is an air or oil hardening tool steel which has good comprehensive performance.  HSS  T1 tool steel has a high hardness (HRC62~66), strength, toughness and heat resistance, which is an excellent cutting tool material. T-1 tool steel grade is on the whole used for turning, planning & slotting instruments, tapes, twist drill, threading dies, profile slicing instruments, broaching instruments & reamers. Generally, high speed steels are divided into  three groups : Those bearing the symbol T where tungsten is the major alloying element; Those bearing the symbol M indicating that molybdenum...

What is Tool Steel? Tool steel is a type of carbon alloy steel. As you can guess from the name, it is often used to make, modify or repair hand tools or machine dies. Tool steels are notable for their hardness, resistance to abrasion and deformation. They can retain a cutting edge at very high temperatures which is why they are often used in the shaping of other materials through cutting, pressing, coining or extruding. Their resistance to abrasion lends to their use in the production of injection molds. Groups of Tool Steel Tool steels are categorized in six groups. The choice of group depends on factors of strength toughness, surface hardness, shock resistance, working temperature, and cost. The six groups are: Water-hardening Cold-work Shock-resisting High-speed Hot-work Special purpose How is Tool Steel Made? The manufacture of tool steels takes place under carefully controlled conditions to produce the required quality. Tool steel has a carbon content of b...
