O1 mold steel, also known as O1 American standard non deformable oil steel and oil quenched hardened tool steel.
Product performance
O1 mold steel is widely used, with good processing performance, excellent wear resistance, stable heat treatment performance, small dimensional deformation, but weak toughness and corrosion resistance. Commonly used in metal molds such as punching dies, stamping dies, bending dies, pulling dies, piercing punches, and finishing dies
O1 is a widely used steel material that can be used as a cutting edge to produce very tough and deeply polished blades. Randall's knife and Mad Dog both use 01. O1: Oil hardening types of tool steel are widely used, among which O1 type has high manganese content combined with chromium and tungsten to increase hardening energy, allowing the steel to harden to high hardness (HRc62) levels without the need for severe water quenching (instead of oil quenching). O1 steel has good workability, but weaker toughness and endurance. The blades made with it can be well suited for daily use; And heat treatment is easy. 01 The blade maintains strong grip. Generally speaking, 01 can be polished very finely, it is very tough, and can be polished with confidence.
