Product Details
W-1 tool steel is a general purpose water-hardening tool steel characterized by a 1.00% carbon content. This material provides an excellent combination of physical properties, featuring an outer case that is abrasion resistant with a hardness in the 60 Rockwell "C" range, while maintaining a soft, ductile inner core. With a machinability rating of 100, W-1 is regarded as the easiest of all steels to machine, making it a suitable choice for various applications requiring precision and durability.
