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 corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-256. Producer or source: Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation.

PAR-EXC is a medium-carbon low-alloy tool and die steel recommended for hubbing dies, punches, small die casting dies, hot work tools and other parts requiring moderate hardness and high toughness. This grade can be carburized to produce a wear resisting surface with a high strength, high toughness core. This datasheet provides information on composition, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-106. Producer or source: Vanadium Alloys Steel Corporation.

Allegheny Stainless Type 205 is a chromium-manganese nitrogen austenitic high strength stainless steel that maintains its low magnetic permeability even after large amounts of cold working. Annealed Type 205 has higher mechanical properties than any of the conventional austenitic steels-and for any given strength level, the ductility of Type 205 is comparable to that of Type 301. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-640. Producer or source: Allegheny Ludlum Corporation. Originally published March 1996, revised October 1997.

AISI Type S2 is a water-hardening tool steel with extreme toughness and resistance to shock loading. Even at a hardness of Rockwell C 59-60, it will bend before it breaks. When hardened in medium-size and large-size pieces, it acquires a hard case and a tough core. Sizes under 3/4-inch (19mm) diameter will water harden to the center. The extreme toughness of Type S2 makes it suitable for use in many applications where no other tool steel will hold up. Its many uses include chisels, rivet busters, spike mauls, screw drivers, punches and sledges. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-408. Producer or source: Tool steel mills.

HERCULOY 420, also known as Revere Alloy No. 420, is a high silicon bronze having mechanical properties of mild steel and corrosion resistance of copper. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Cu-24.

1045, 1045H, 1046, C45, C45E, and C45R are wrought medium-carbon (carbon = 0.42–0.51%) non-alloy steels that are used in the normalized, cold worked, or quenched and tempered condition. 1045, 1045H, 1046, C45E, and C45R may also be flame or induction hardened, nitrided, or nitrocarburized. These steels are widely used for moderately and highly stressed parts that require higher strength levels than can be achieved by the lower carbon grades, and where the expense of an alloy steel is not justified. Owing to their low hardenability their use in the quench hardened and tempered condition is not recommended for large sizes as the improvement in mechanical properties over the normalized condition is insufficient to justify the additional cost of heat treatment. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming and heat treating. Filing Code: CS-247.
