Carbon tool steel VS Carbon mold steel

Some people often confused tool steels with mold steels because their definitions seem similar. Generalized tool steels include mold steels, which have some common characteristics, such as the need to bear great local pressure and strong wear, how to achieve the balance of toughness and wear resistance is their biggest contradiction. In a narrow sense,…

Chromoly steel 4130 has excellent strength and toughness, good hardenability and weldability, is a commonly used steel pipe for structural and mechanical purposes. It is mainly used for quenching and tempering parts with large cross-sections and working under high-stress conditions in the machinery manufacturing industry such as shafts, spindles, high load steering wheels, bolts, studs,…

What’s Free-Machining Steel?

Free-machining steel also referred to as Free-cutting steel or Automatic Steel, is the alloy steel by added elements such as sulfur, lead, calcium, selenium, tellurium, and bismuth to lubricate the cutting tool, reducing the cutting resistance of the steel, thereby reducing the surface roughness of the workpiece and increasing the cutting speed and prolonging the…
