SELECT B is a fully uniform air-hardening die steel having abrasion resistance intermediate between Olympic (AISI Type D2) high-carbon, high-chromium die steel and Badger (AISI Type O1) oil-hardening die steel. SELECT B has excellent non-deforming, deep-hardening characteristics and good toughness. Its machinability is comparable to most oil-hardening tool steels. Among its many uses are cold blanking and forming dies, rolls, punches, gages and broaches. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-448. Producer or source: Latrobe Steel Company.

WINDSOR is a medium-alloy, air-hardening tool steel possessing superior abrasion resistance for long service life. Its inherent wearability and toughness make it particularly adaptable for use in dies and punches in extended production runs. It also has excellent nondeforming characteristics. Its many applications include blanking dies, coining, cold shears and punches. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-385. Producer or source: Jessop Steel Company.

GUTERL A-2 is a high-hardenability cold-work tool and die steel with excellent non-deforming properties. It is air hardening and therefore exhibits a high degree of dimensional stability in heat treatment. It is recommended where the application requires a good combination of machinability, wear resistance and toughness. Among the many uses of Guterl A-2 are shear blades, blanking and forming dies, punches and burnishing tools. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-364. Producer or source: Guterl Special Steel Corporation.

SAGAMORE is a 5% chromium air-hardening die steel that is less expensive than the high-carbon, high-chromium types. It has excellent non-deforming properties and is tougher than most cold-work die steels. It is recommended for applications requiring a good combination of toughness, wear resistance and machinability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-331. Producer or source: AL Tech Specialty Steel Corporation.

AIRKOOL is a high-hardenability (deep-hardening) tool and die steel that is intermediate in abrasion resistance between the oil-hardening and high-carbon high-chromium tool steels. It possesses superior toughness to both of these types; furthermore, AIRKOOL can be machined readily and has excellent non-deforming characteristics. It is well suited for applications requiring toughness and fairly high resistance to abrasion. Typical applications for AIRKOOL include blanking dies, forming dies, punches and shear blades. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-435. Producer or source: Crucible Specialty Metals Division, Colt Industries.

No. 484 tool steel is an air hardening tool steel capable of through hardening in heavy sections. Isothermal transformation of material austenitized at 1750 starts after about 400 seconds at 1300 F and after about 1000 seconds at 600 F. The calculated Ms temperature is 325 F. The steel has a good hardness/toughness balance. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-501. Producer or source: Carpenter.
