Precision Ground Drill Rod Oil Hardening Non-Distorting

O-1 tool steel is special analyses developed to do a wide variety of special tooling jobs such as cutting, forming, shearing, battering, etc. The analyses are formulated to provide specific properties such as wear resistance, toughness, red hardness and the ability to be heat treated to high hardness while maintaining a predictable size.

AISI / SAE-01

Hardening
Preheat thoroughly at 1200º/1250ºF then heat to 1450º/1500ºF depending on section size. Hold until uniformly heated through. Quench in warm thin quenching oil to about 150ºF and temper immediately.
