CRUCIBLE HOLDER BLOCK is a medium-carbon chromium-molybdenum steel which affords superior machinability because of its sulfur content. It is used in such applications as holders or backers for forging dies and frames for plastic molds. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-301. Producer or source: Crucible Specialty Metals Division, Colt Industries.

Maxel 400 FM is a corrosion resistant pre-hardened, free machining steel intended for use as a holder or backing in plastic molding. Maxel 400 FM is similar to conventional 420 mold steel, but sulfur has been added to enhance its machining properties. This datasheet provides information on composition. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-637. Producer or source: Crucible Service Centers.

Crucible Maxel 2000 is a corrosion resistant, pre-hardened, free machining steel based on AISI 414 (Alloy Digest SS-103, February 1989) stainless steel. This datasheet provides information on composition, hardness, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-633. Producer or source: Crucible Service Centers.

Crusible CCS is an air-hardening hot work steel having high temperature properties and heat resistance. It is recommended for die casting dies, forging and extrusion tools. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-182. Producer or source: Crucible Steel Company of America.

CSM #2 Plus is a general purpose mold steel modified to enhance the machinability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-612. Producer or source: Crucible.

PEERLESS LCT2 is a hot work steel which possesses high heat resistance and a high degree of working hardness at elevated temperatures. This steel is best applied where hardness and resistance to abrasion are of more importance than toughness. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-140. Producer or source: Crucible Steel Company of America.

VERSASTEEL is a tool steel designed to provide an unusual combination of fine grain structure, high secondary hardness, and compressive yield strength together with good toughness and high wear resistance. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-188. Producer or source: Crucible Steel Company of America.
