Chrome-Tungsten Shock Resistant Tool Steel

AISI S1 is a versatile chrome-tungsten shock-resisting tool steel. Its properties provide excellent service in both cold and hot work shock applications. In addition, it is widely used for master hobs.Its low carbon content provides toughness and its combination of alloying elements provides the carbide formation necessary for abrasion resistance, the hardenability necessary for shock tools, and improved hot work characteristics.For additional wear resistance, tools of SI may be carburized during pack hardening
