TOLERANCES:

This is ground to plus or minus .001” on thicknesses including 1-1/4”. Over 1-1/4” plus or minus .002”. Widths are plus .005” minus .000”. Lengths are all furnished on the plus side.

RECOMMENDED USES:

This is an excellent oil hardening tool steel for dies, tools, gauges, punches, etc.

PREPARATION:

Pack holes and other openings not requiring hardening. Asbestos rope is preferable as a packing material.

HARDENING:

Heat slowly in neutral atmosphere furnace to 1475 degrees to 1525 degrees Fahrenheit. Use slightly higher temperature for thicker sections. Soak at heat for at least 1/2 hour. Quench in light quenching oil of approximately 125 degree temperature Fahrenheit.

Oil-Hardening Ground Flat Stock Pre-Colored and Oversize SAE Type 01

HEAT TREATMENT

This is the same with oversize tolerances and is pre-colored for easy identification and scribing. See heat Treatment data sheet for regular type 01.

ANALYSIS:

Analysis is the same as for SAE type 01 shown above.

TOLERANCES:

Under 3/16” is ground to plus .001” minus .001” on the thickness and plus .005” minus .000” on the width. Sizes 3/16” thick and large are ground plus .011” to .013” on the thickness and plus .010” to .015” on the width. Lengths are all furnished on the plus side.

RECOMMENDED USES:

This is an excellent oil hardening tool steel for blanking, forming, piercing, and coining dies where medium abrasion resistance is required. It may also be used for gauges, templates, wear plates, etc.
