Tool Steel 75Cr1 (annealed) is a high-carbon chromium steel (0.70–0.80% carbon) that hardens to about 44–52 HRC for saw blades and knives, though it has no corrosion resistance.
Tool Steel 75Cr1 (1.2003) is a high-carbon steel with 0.70–0.80% carbon and 0.30–0.40% chromium, equivalent to AISI 1075 with added chromium.
Supplied annealed it is at most about 200 HBW and 550 MPa tensile strength, and it hardens to about 44–52 HRC for saw blades and up to about 58–62 HRC. It is magnetic, not corrosion resistant, and should not be welded because of its carbon content.
Tool Steel 75Cr1 is well suited to wood band saw blades, circular saws, knives, and springs.
