Product Details
W-1 tool steel is a general purpose water-hardening tool steel with a 1.00% carbon content. It offers an excellent combination of physical properties, featuring an outer case that is abrasion resistant in the 60 Rockwell "C" range, alongside a soft, ductile inner core. With a machinability rating of 100 as a basis for comparison with other tool steels, W-1 is recognized as the easiest of all steels to machine.
