Characteristics
Chrome-silicon steel with the middle hardenability for hardening in oil, very good toughness at the relatively high hardness, good resistance to the dynamic, alternating stress and stress by hits, very good flexibility and resistance to the wear (also in the untreated state), good ductility at the heat and good workability in the annealed state.
Suitability
Tools for cold cutting, i.e. all the types of cutting tools, punching tools, shear blades for cutting of materials of bigger thicknesses. Cutting tools for woodworking e.g. planing knives, milling machines, drills, chain cutters etc. Hand tools, i.e. hand and pneumatic chisels, screwdrivers, keys etc. Fastening tools, e.g. collets. Further for molds e.g. ejectors, threaded pins for mechanical working of plastic materials, molds for pressing of bricks and fireclay goods. Tools for crushing and grinding – smaller hammers and jaws of crushers.

Heat treatment of steel W.Nr. 1.2101
| Way | Temperature [°C] | Procedure | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forging | 850-1050 | Cool slowly in calm air or better e.g. in dry ash or other thermally-insulated material | |
| Soft annealing | 700-750 | Warm few hours (according to the size of object), mostly four hours are enough and cool slowly in the furnace | |
| Annealing to lower tension | 600-650 | Warm 1 to 2 hours and cool slowly in the furnace | |
| Hardening | 830-860 | Oil or hot bath 180-220 °C | |
| Tempering | 240-350 | Cool in air, the degree of tempering is set by hardness and toughness of instrument according to the tempering chart | |
Note
- Appropriate spring hardness is about 45-55 HRC.

Tool steel meets the requirements of various kinds of tools, e.g. for machining, hot- and cold-working, measuring instruments and die-casting moulds. We also offer high-speed steel.
Tool steel meets the requirements of various kinds of tools, e.g. for machining, hot- and cold-working, measuring instruments and die-casting moulds. These tool materials conform to great quality demands of steel, like temper, strength, toughness, resistance to tempering, hardening capacity, dimensional stability, etc. The range of tool steel in our store includes products from renowned manufacturers. We also supply high - speed steel.
Special tool steel is suitable for the manufacture of moulds, dies and pressing tools. This steel have better end-use properties than common classic steel, therefore it can help saving considerable amounts of money in manufacture.
This patented Swedish steel is distinguished by its high range of use. It is suitable for the manufacture of tools and moulds as well as machinery parts. This material can replace many kinds of classic tool and structural steel.
We supply these grades of steel: St52.3, C45, 16MnCr5, 42CrMo4
