Amtek Tool & Supply, Inc.

The cold work tool steels listed under the letter symbol "O" are all low alloy types that must be oil quenched in heat treatment. Sizes over approximately 2 to 2 ½ inch (50.8 to 63.5) may exhibit lower hardness in the interior. 0-1 is one of the first of the tool steels grades. It is a multipurpose tool steel which maintains excellent abrasion and wears resistance, toughness and machinability characteristics. It is used extensively in dies and punches for blanking, forming and trimming, as well as in cams, bushings, guides and gauges. Typical applications include: - Blanking dies - Drawing dies - Machine ways - Cams - Forming dies - Plastic mold dies - Coining dies - Gages - Shear Blades - Trim dies

The core structure (ultra-fine to coarse grain) of the Polycrystalline Diamond provides a higher toughness, yet lower wear resistance and reduced micro-cutting edge quality than with Monocrystalline Diamond. The reaction behaviour is identical, yet the higher toughness extends the application range considerably. Materials with a low to very high content (from 2% to 70%) of abrasives fillers can be machined with excellent tool life. Many sizes, shapes and multiple PCD placement available...please inquire - Fast delivery and premium quality! We supply these and almost any other insert from stock or within 3 to 4 business days.
