Product Description:

• Ground Tool Steel SAE 0-1 Oil hardenable steel alloy recommended for dies, punches, gauges and tools. It should be used where a greater degree of accuracy is desired in hardening. Its precise diameter and smooth finish make it excellent for use as steel shafting. Also referred to as Silver Steel in England. Heat Treatment: For cross sections smaller than 1/4 inch heat to 1450 - 1475 F (788 - 802 C) and hold until heated through. For larger sections, preheat to 1200F (649 C), then raise to 1450 - 1500 F (788 - 815 C) hardening temperature, hold half an hour per inch of cross section. Quench in oil at 125-150 F (52- 65 C) and TEMPER IMMEDIATELY.
