Common Grades
Engineering Steel is a steel that has had small amounts of one or more alloying elements (other than carbon) such as such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum added. This produces specific properties that are not found in regular carbon steel.
Engineering Steels are workhorses of industry because of their economical cost, wide availability, ease of processing, and good mechanical properties. Alloy steels are generally more responsive to heat and mechanical treatments than carbon steels.
Tool Steel Ground Flat Stock can be used in precision machining projects where accuracy and tolerances are a must.
Because it is ground, it has very tight tolerances and accuracy, and is commonly used for tools and dies.
Typical Applications: Arbors, Bushing, Chasers (Thread Cutting), Collets, Die Blanking, Cold Forming, Cold Trimming, Drill Bushing, Knurling Tools
