O1 tool steel produces high-strength, wear-resistant parts with excellent hardness potential and dimensional stability. It is ideal for precision tooling and durable mechanical components.
CNC machined O1 tool steel is a high-carbon, oil-hardening tool steel designed for applications requiring excellent hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. Known for its reliable heat treatment response and fine grain structure, O1 tool steel is widely used for precision tooling and mechanical components exposed to friction, stress, or repeated use.
O1 tool steel provides a strong balance of hardness, toughness, and edge retention, allowing components to maintain precise geometry and surface integrity during service. While it offers limited corrosion resistance, protective coatings or controlled environments are typically used when environmental exposure is a concern.
Typical applications include cutting tools, dies, molds, punches, gauges, and wear-resistant machine components where durability, precision, and long service life are essential.
