Overview
Product Details
AISI O1 is one of the most well respected oil-hardening tool and die steels. It is easy to machine. Normal care in treatment gives good results in hardening and produces small dimensional changes. It has good abrasion-resistance, and sufficient toughness for normal tool-and-die applications. When it is essential to have a safer hardening tool-and-die steel, O1 is used for the majority of applications too sensitive for carbon tool steels. Recommended applications include cold-forming, blanking and bending dies, forming rolls, broaches, knurling tools, and gages. Characteristics: soft-annealed max. 229 HB Machinability: 5 (1 = bad - 10 = good) Weldability: bad Corrosion class: 1 (0 = low - 5 = good Chemical composition: O1 C Si Mn P S Cr V W Ni min. 0.85 1.00 0.40 0.40 max. 1.00 0.50 1.40 0.03 0.03 0.60 0.30 0.60 0.30 Production: Round and Flat Size according to customer's requirement Benefit of sawn cuts: The processing with the saw is a mechanical processing of the material, which results in a significantly lower unintended deformation and increased hardness for the existing structure, such as the thermal cutting. Thus, the machined workpiece has a homogeneous structure even at the edge, which does not change in the continuation of the material. This circumstance allows immediate finishing of the workpiece with milling or drilling . So it is not necessary to anneal the material or make a similar operation beforehand.
