Product Details
W-1 tool steel is a general-purpose water-hardening tool steel featuring a 1.00% carbon content, providing a distinguished combination of physical properties. The material includes an outer case that is abrasion-resistant in the 60 Rockwell "C" range, complemented by a soft, ductile inner core. W-1 is noted for its machinability, with a machinability rating of 100 serving as a baseline for comparison against other tool steels.
