Product Details
W-1 tool steel is a general purpose water-hardening tool steel characterized by a carbon content of 1.00%. It provides an outstanding balance of physical properties, featuring an outer case that exhibits abrasion resistance in the 60 Rockwell "C" range, complemented by a soft and ductile inner core. With a machinability rating of 100, W-1 is recognized as the easiest of all steels to machine, serving as a benchmark for comparison with other tool steels.
