Product Details
W-1 tool steel is a general-purpose water-hardening tool steel characterized by a 1.00% carbon content. It provides an exceptional combination of physical properties, featuring an outer case that is abrasion resistant, achieving a hardness in the 60 Rockwell "C" range, while possessing a soft, ductile inner core. Notably, W-1 tool steel is the easiest to machine among all steels, boasting a machinability rating of 100, which serves as a basis for comparison with other tool steels.
