Characteristics of tool steel
Tool steel is a carbonaceous and high-carbon type of alloy that has high hardness, which is one of the reasons for its use for the production of various types of cutting tools for wood and metal. In the production of such a steel grade, GOST 1435-99 is guided, which approves all the properties of the metal and its capabilities.
Depending on the purpose, tool steel is:
- alloyed;
- roller;
- stamp;
- high speed.
One of the examples of such steels is grade U7-U12, U7A-U12A.
Tool steel must meet increased requirements, therefore, according to its condition, it is divided into high-quality and high-quality. This indicates, first of all, the purity of the chemical composition, namely the percentage of sulfur and phosphorus. Quality has more.
All the basic information of instrumental and any other steel is included in the marking. The first letter indicates the presence of carbon. The number is that quantity, the last letter A indicates that this is a high-quality steel grade. If the letter G is present in the designation of the alloy, then this indicates an increased amount of manganese.
Carbon tool steel is quite hard, but when heated to 300 ℃, it is tempered and the place becomes soft.
Various types of products and devices for work and repair are made from carbon tool steel. Basically, these are tools for wood, because it is critical to overheating. The material is supplied in the form of solid squares, stripes, hexagons and circles.
Tool steel has good grindability, hardening, hot ductility. When used for processing soft metals, it does not adhere to them during processing. When struck, a tool made of such steel will not crack.
In addition to tool steel grades, we also have many other rolled metal products. To form a wholesale or piece lot, call at any convenient time.
