EN 10027-1 steel grade designation system. European standard steel grade names fall into two categories: [1] Steel specified by purpose of use and mechanical properties. Steel specified by chemical composition. The inclusion of a letter 'G' before the code indicates the steel is specified in the form of a casting.
Tool steel is any of various carbon steels and alloy steels that are particularly well-suited to be made into tools and tooling, including cutting tools, dies, hand tools, knives, and others. Their suitability comes from their distinctive hardness , resistance to abrasion and deformation, and their ability to hold a cutting edge at elevated ...
The SAE steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system (SAE J1086 – Numbering Metals and Alloys) for steel grades maintained by SAE International. In the 1930s and 1940s, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels. These efforts were similar ...
Low-alloy special purpose steel is a grade of tool steel characterized by its proportion of iron to other elements, the kind of elements in its composition, and its treatment during the manufacturing process. The three ASTM established grades of low-alloy special purpose steel are L2, L3, and L6. [1]
A6, a grade of tool steel which air-hardens at a relatively low temperature (approximately the same temperature as oil-hardening grades) and is dimensionally stable. Therefore, it is commonly used for dies, forming tools, and gauges that do not require extreme wear resistance but do need high stability.
Tool steel 1.2344 (also known as AISI H13 steel or just H13 [1]) is a tool steel grade standardised for hot working. The main feature of this grade is the combination of alloyed elements of chromium , molybdenum and vanadium , Cr-Mo-V, which provides a high wear resistance to thermal shock.
A UNS number only defines a specific chemical composition, it does not provided full material specification. Requirements such as material properties (yield strength, ultimate strength, hardness, etc.), heat treatment, form (rolled, cast, forged, flanges, tubes, bars, etc.), purpose (high temperature, boilers and pressure vessels, etc.) and testing methods are all specified in the material or ...
SVCM steel is a kind of shock-resisting steel. [5] SVCM steel is an alloy of carbon, silicon, chromium, magnesium, nickel, molybdenum and lead. [6] SVCM+ in addition is quenched and tempered achieving a high hardness (HRC 59). [6] SCVM+ has better torsional properties than chromium-vanadium steel (Cr-V). [7]
