AISI 01
AISI 01 steel is a high-carbon, oil-hardening tool steel that is classified under the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) designation system. It is also known by its alternative names, including O1 steel or tool steel 1.2510. AISI 01 is widely used in various applications where high wear resistance and good toughness are required.
The chemical composition of AISI 01 steel typically includes elements such as carbon (C), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), tungsten (W), and vanadium (V). The specific composition may vary depending on the manufacturer or specifications.
AISI 01 steel is known for its excellent machinability, good dimensional stability, and high hardness after heat treatment. It can be hardened by heating it to a specific temperature range and then quenching it in oil. This process transforms the steel into a hardened state, resulting in increased hardness and wear resistance.
