Hex tool steel s7

It can be used successfully for both cold and hot work applications. For plastic injection molds, S7 tool steel is available as a remelted, mold-quality product. The remelting process minimizes the number and sizes of nonmetallic inclusions in the steel, and thereby enhances the polishability for critical cavity, insert, and other tooling surfaces.

For simple geometries, use only the second preheating temperature range. Austenitizing High Heat : Heat slowly from the preheat. Soak for 30 minutes for the first inch Tempering: Temper immediately after quenching. Hold at temperature for 1 hour per inch To minimize internal stresses in cross sections greater than 6 inches These bars are decarb-free for a uniform surface that will consistently accept heat treating.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements. These rods and discs are decarb-free for a uniform surface that will consistently accept heat treating. If you don't see the size you're looking for, please specify a length under additional rod lengths.

The diameter on these rods is precision ground while the straightness is held to a strict tolerance. Also known as drill rod, they are ready for turning in a lathe. Clear All. S7 Tool Steel.
