Crucible S7 is a chromium/molybdenum tool steel developed to produce the unusual combination of high shock resistance and toughness together with ease of machining and heat treatment. It is a versatile tool steel applicable for both hot and cold work shock applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-543. Producer or source: Crucible Service Centers.

Crucible S7 XL is a double-refined high-purity grade of S7 tool steel (see Alloy Digest TS-543, July 1996) designed specifically for ease of wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) operations, improved consistency in texturizing of plastic injection molds, and superior shock resistance compared to conventional S7. Typical applications include plastic injection molds, punches and dies by wire EDM, and heavy impact tools. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-562. Producer or source: Crucible Service Centers. Originally published November 1998, revised 2005.

CPM 1V is a powder metallurgically produced high-vanadium cold-work tool steel. It is an upgrade to H13 with higher hardness and better temper resistance for longer die life. The alloy also has better heat resistance and higher hardness than H19. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, and elasticity as well as fatigue. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and powder metal forms. Filing Code: TS-605. Producer or source: Crucible Service Centers.

CPM 3V offers impact toughness (Charpy C notch) approaching the shock-resistant tool steels, but with greater wear resistance. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as heat treating and machining. Filing Code: TS-558. Producer or source: Crucible Materials Corporation.
