Metric MetalTool Steel Square Bar

O1 Tool steel square bar is a type of carbon alloy steel that is well-matched for tool manufacturing for various industrial applications, ranging from engineering to manufacturing and construction. This type of tool steel is resistant to abrasion, wear, heat, and other damaging forces that can affect the performance of components or materials. The versatility of this material makes it an ideal choice for many different types of projects and products.

It can be used to manufacture hand tools, machine parts, automotive components, and various other industrial equipment. It is ideal for use in the production of cutting tools, jigs, fixtures, and dies.

O1 Tool Steel is an oil hardening tool steel that is ground to size and can achieve a hardness of Rockwell C65 range. It is also noted as a general-purpose tool steel used in applications where an alloy steel cannot provide enough hardness.

Tool steel square bars are available in different sizes to meet specific requirements. Available sizes range from 3mm square up to 40mm square. The material is typically machined or ground into the desired shape for use.

Tips for Choosing a Tool Steel Square Bar

The first step when selecting a tool steel square bar is to consider what type of material best suits the application. Tool steel square bars can be made from alloyed or unalloyed steel, and each type has unique advantages and disadvantages.

O1 tool steel is more expensive than unalloyed but offers superior strength, toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Unalloyed tool steels are generally less costly but may not be as strong or durable as alloyed varieties.

Next, consider the size of the bar required for the application. O1 Tool steel square bars are available in a wide range of sizes, from 3mm square up to 40mm square. It’s important to choose the right size for your application to ensure a proper fit.
