What Exactly Is O1  Steel?

Let’s start with a simple truth: O1 steel is not a mystery. It is a low-alloy, cold-work tool steel that must be oil-quenched during heat treatment. That is why many engineers simply call it “oil-hardening steel.”

Think of it this way: If water-hardening steels are like racing bikes—fast but brittle—then O1 is like a luxury sedan. Smooth, predictable, and forgiving.

Tools and dies made from O1 flat bars or round bars deliver good wear resistance and strong abrasive qualities. Why? Because the tungsten and higher chromium content work together like a shield against friction. In addition, ASTM A681 O1 tool steel offers deep hardening properties, a fine grain structure, and unusual toughness for its class.

Here is a rhetorical question for you: *Would you trust a brittle die to run a 10,000-part production run?* Probably not. That is exactly why machinists and toolmakers choose O1.

At Dongguan Otai Special Steel, we are not just another supplier. We are a better choice—offering reliable quality, responsive sales service, and full traceability. Our AISI O1 tool steel is available in decarb-free rounds, flats, squares, ground flat stock, and drill rod. Need a custom size? We deliver.

2. Relevant Steel Specifications of AISI O1 Tool Steel

You may see different names on different blueprints. Do not let that confuse you. Here are the direct equivalents we supply at Otai:

So, if your customer asks for 1.2510 or SKS3, relax. You have found the right material.

3. Chemical Composition & Equivalents (The Honest Recipe)

Why does O1 perform so consistently? Because its chemistry is balanced like a good recipe. Let me show you the numbers we certify:

Notice the tungsten (W) and chromium (Cr)? Those are your wear-resistant heroes. They give O1 its edge-holding ability without making it impossible to machine.

4. Mechanical Properties (What You Really Care About)

Let’s skip the fluff. Here is how O1 performs under real shop conditions:

Have you ever calculated how much downtime a broken punch costs you? A higher compressive strength means fewer surprises.

5. Physical & Thermal Properties

These numbers matter when you are designing dies that run hot or cold. O1 stays stable.

6. Forging – Do It Right, or Pay Twice

Heat O1 slowly and uniformly. Forging temperature: 980-1000°C. Do not forge below 800°C. After forging, cool slowly in lime, dry ashes, or a furnace. Then—and this is critical—always anneal before re-hardening.

Think of it like baking bread: Skip the resting step, and the texture fails. Same logic applies here.

7. Heat Treatment – The Heart of O1  Steel Performance

Anneal (Softening)

Heat slowly (max 222°C per hour) to 802-816°C. Hold 1 hour per 25mm thickness (2 hours minimum). Cool slowly with the furnace at max 28°C per hour down to 538°C, then air cool. Result: max 212 HB.

Hardening (Making It Strong)

• Preheat: 1100-1200°F

• Austenitize: 1475-1500°F. Soak 30 minutes per inch of thickness.

• Quench: In warm oil. Cool until 125-150°F (or until you can hold it in a bare hand).

• Temper immediately. Yes, immediately. Do not wait.

Tempering

Single temper is usually enough. But double tempering? Sometimes better. Soak 2 hours per inch of thickness each time. Air cool between tempers. Normal range: 300-450°F.

Stress Relief After Grinding or EDM

Use a temperature 25-50°F lower than your last tempering temperature. This small step prevents cracking. Ignore it at your own risk.

8. Applications – Where Does O1 Actually Shine?

O1 is designed for short to medium run tooling at ambient temperatures. Think of it as the reliable employee who never complains.

Typical applications include:

• Blanking dies

• Forming dies

• Trim dies

• Gauges

• Slitting cutters

• Punches

• Bolster dies

• Knock-out pins

• Thread roll dies

• Bending dies

• Plastic mold dies (short runs)

• Shims, cams, machine ways

• Jigs and cutter templates

• Swaging dies

*Can you use O1 for high-speed stamping of abrasive materials?* Probably not—that is D2 or M2 territory. But for everyday precision tooling? O1 is your answer.

9. Why Otai Is a Better Choice

You have many options for buying tool steel. I will give you three reasons to choose us:

1. Reliable quality. Every batch comes with a mill test certificate. No guessing.

Have you ever tried to bend a steel bar that simply refuses to move? That is the kind of resistance we are talking about with DIN 1.2767. In the world of tool steels, this material is not just another player on the bench—it is the heavyweight champion of toughness and strength.

So, what exactly is DIN 1.2767 steel ? In simple terms, it is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloyed steel. It is often referred to by its common alias: 45NiCrMo16. Think of it as the steel equivalent of a reinforced concrete beam—strong on its own, but with a hidden structure that makes it nearly unbreakable under impact.

Standard and Equivalents

Standard	Grade Name
DIN (Germany)	1.2767
AISI (USA)	6F7 (similar, but not identical)
JIS (Japan)	SKT 5
Other Common Name	45NiCrMo16/ X45NiCrMo4

A quick note: while 1.2767 behaves similarly to AISI 6F7, we always recommend verifying your specific application requirements. Let’s just say they are cousins, not twins.

Chemical Composition  (wt%)

Why does this matter? The high nickel content is the secret sauce. It gives the steel extraordinary ductility—imagine stretching a rubber band versus snapping a twig. 1.2767 bends before it breaks.

Mechanical Properties (Heat Treated)

Technical Properties Worth Knowing

• High hardenability: Air or oil quenching works beautifully. No need for water quenching, which reduces distortion.

• Excellent polishability: Perfect for plastic mold cavities that need a mirror finish.

• Good wear resistance: Not in the D2 or M2 class, but more than enough for high-impact applications.

Typical Application

Where would you actually use DIN 1.2767 steel ? Imagine high-stress tools like:

• Injection molding tooling for abrasive plastics (e.g., glass fiber reinforced)

• Shearing blades

• Master molds and dies

• Extrusion tools

• Calendering rolls

In other words, if your tool takes repeated heavy punches, DIN 1.2767 steel is your ring. It is also widely used in automotive stamping dies and food processing machinery where both strength and corrosion resistance (from nickel) matter.

Available Sizes from Otai Special Steel

We supply 1.2767 in the following forms (subject to stock):

• Rounds: 8mm – 800mm diameter

• Flats / Blocks: Thickness 20mm – 500mm, Width up to 800mm

• Plates: Cut-to-size service available

All material is supplied in the soft annealed condition unless otherwise requested. Need pre-cutting, grinding, or heat treatment? Just ask.

Price Consideration

Is 1.2767 expensive? That depends on your benchmark. Compared to standard mold steel like P20, yes—it costs more. Compared to high-speed steel like M2, it is very competitive. Think of it as an investment in fewer tool failures and less downtime. We price per kilogram, with discounts for full mill batches. Contact us for a live quote based on your exact dimensions.

Ever feel like your tools are just one impact away from a catastrophic crack? You are not alone.

In the world of stamping and shearing, brittle tools are a nightmare. They shatter, ruin your production schedule, and frankly, they cost you a fortune in downtime. That is where  S1 Steel  steps into the ring.

Think of S1 as the “Bodyguard” of the tool steel world. It doesn’t just sit there looking hard; its job is to take the punch—literally—and ask for more. At Dongguan Otai Special Steel, we see this material save our clients’ operations every day. Let me break down why this specific grade might just be the hero your workshop needs.

What Exactly is S1 Steel?

In technical terms, S1 is a Shock-Resisting Tool Steel. But let’s ditch the jargon for a second.

While other steels focus on being hard as glass (and sadly, just as breakable), S1 focuses on Toughness. It has a specific recipe of alloys designed to absorb vibration, heavy impact, and sudden loading without falling apart.

Under the hood (or the microscope), this is what the chemistry looks like according to ASTM A681 standards :

Equivalent steel grade for S1 steel

The “Aha!” Moment: Where S1 Steel Beats the Others

So, why choose S1 over something like D2 or O1? Simple.

D2 steel  is like a ceramic plate—super hard, great for wear, but drop it and it’s in a million pieces.
S1 steel is like a rubber tire**—tough, resilient, and able to take a beating. It resists deformation and chipping at a level that high-carbon steels just can’t touch.

You get a working hardness of 56-60 HRC. That is plenty hard enough to cut metal sheeting or shape wood, but with a ductility that makes machining and heat treatment a breeze.

 Where Does S1 Steel Actually Work?

Because of this “take-a-hit” attitude, S1 is the gold standard for tools that experience sudden impact. You will find S1 steel excelling in roles where other steels fear to tread .

– Pneumatic Tools: Think chisels, rivet snaps, and breaker tool bits. These live a life of constant vibration.
– Shear Blades: For cutting scrap metal or cropping bars. The blades take a massive shock with every cut.
– Cold Forming Dies: Punches and dies that slam into metal hundreds of times a minute.
– Woodworking: Shock-resistant knives for planing hardwood knots.

 The Practical Stuff: Sizes, Prices, and Availability

At Otai, we don’t just sell certificates; we sell steel you can use. We keep a massive inventory of S1 steel (also known internationally as DIN 1.2554 or 45WCrV7) ready to ship.

Available Forms & Dimensions:

– Round Bar: Usually in the range of 16mm to 800mm diameter. Perfect for punches and rods.
– Flat Bar / Plate: Thickness from 10mm to 600mm, width up to 910mm. Ideal for shear blades and dies .

A Note on Price:

Because S1 contains Tungsten (which is a dense, high-cost alloy), it sits at a moderate price point. It is certainly more expensive than plain carbon steel, but here is the kicker: it is significantly cheaper than high-speed steels (like M2) in the long run. Why? Because the reduced risk of catastrophic failure means you save money on emergency repairs and lost production time.

 Heat Treatment Made Simple

One of the best parts about S1? It is very forgiving.

– Annealing: Heat to 750°C – 800°C (1382°F – 1472°F), cool slowly in the furnace.
– Hardening: Pre-heat to 650°C – 700°C, then raise to 900°C – 950°C (1652°F – 1742°F).
– Quenching: Oil quench is standard (or air for thinner sections).
– Tempering:Temper immediately. For that sweet spot of 56-58 HRC, hit a double temper at 400°F – 600°F .

The Bottom Line (And a Quick Ask)

Look, if you are shearing soft materials or punching delicate holes, maybe you don’t need S1. But if you are tired of hearing that “CRACK” sound when your punch hits a hard spot in the material—you need S1 steel.

At Dongguan Otai Special Steel, we specialize in providing steel that solves problems, not creates them. We can cut S1 to your exact length, grind it to your tolerance, and get it to your door before you run out of patience.

Are you currently fighting with chipping or breaking tools? Shoot us a message with your application. Let’s see if S1 is the right bodyguard for your machine.

Choosing the wrong tool steel leads to early failure. Two grades we often compare are  A8 Modified/1.2360  and  D2. Both are air-hardening, but they solve different problems. A8 modified chipper steel equivalent 1.2360.

Composition Difference between A8 Modified/1.2360 and D2

– D2 : High carbon (1.4–1.6%) and high chromium (11–13%). This creates hard carbides for excellent wear resistance.
– A8 Modified/1.2360: Medium carbon (0.45–0.50%) and medium chromium (7.3–7.8%). It adds molybdenum, vanadium for superior toughness.

Performance: Wear Resistance vs. Toughness

This is the key trade-off.

– D2: Offers high wear and abrasion resistance . It holds a sharp edge for long production runs. However, it is brittle and prone to chipping or cracking under impact.
-A8 Modified /1.2360: Offers excellent impact toughness. It resists shock, bending, and breaking. The trade-off? Lower wear resistance than D2.

 Application Range

Choose D2 when failure is from wear:

– Long-run blanking dies
– Forming rolls
– Slitter and shear blades
– Thread rolling dies

Choose A8 Modified /1.2360 when failure is from chipping or breaking:

– Cold heading punches
– Cold forging dies
– Heavy-duty stamping punches
– Chipper knives (wood/paper)
– Punches that see impact loads

Price Comparison

– D2: More affordable. It is a standard, high-volume grade with competitive pricing.
– A8 Modified/1.2360: Higher cost per kg due to its specialized alloy design and lower production volume.

But remember: If your D2 tools keep cracking, the downtime and replacement cost far exceed the material price difference. A8 Modified /1.2360 often gives a lower total cost per part.

 Summary Table

Our Recommendation for Export Customers

– Wear life is your problem → Choose D2
– Cracking or breaking is your problem → Choose A8 Modified/1.2360

We stock both grades in rounds, flats, and plates. Not sure which one fits your application? Send us your tool drawing and failure photos. We will recommend the right steel for your real shop-floor conditions.

Before understanding powder high-speed steel, we first understand what powder metallurgy is. Powder metallurgy refers to a steel manufacturing process in which fine steel powder is obtained by atomizing molten steel with high-pressure inert gas or high-pressure water, then pressed into shape under high temperature and high pressure, and then sintered. Powder metallurgy high-speed steel also call PMHSS which  is high-speed steel manufactured through powder metallurgy process.

Manufacturing process of Powder metallurgy high speed(PMHSS)

1. 1. Atomized high-speed steel: First, pour the high-speed steel into high-pressure inert gas or high-pressure water to atomize it into fine high-speed steel powder.
   2. Press molding:Put the high-speed steel powder obtained after atomization into a mold and press it into shape under high temperature and high pressure.
   3. Sintering: Put the pressed blank into a sintering furnace and perform sintering treatment to make it completely densified.
   4. Heat treatment: Finally, the sintered blank make heat treatment to adjust its structure and properties.

The difference between Powder metallurgy high speed(PMHSS)and traditional HSS

Wear resistance

Since the particles (powder) of PMHSS are small and uniform, there will be no uneven solidification, and the internal structure is uniform and stable. Therefore, under the same heat treatment and quenching temperature, the wear resistance of PMHSS will be better than  ordinary HSS.

Purity

Before PMHSS is prepared and formed, its raw materials (powder) will be strictly filtered and screened. This will completely remove impurities and non-metallic substances from the raw material. At the same time, the composition of PMHSS is stabilized after molding to ensure product quality.

No directionality

Powder metallurgy high-speed steel(PMHSS) is made of extremely small particles (powder) that are pressed and sintered, so the performance and strength of all parts of the entire product will be the same. There will be no horizontal or vertical organizational structure like ordinary high-speed steel. Therefore, the overall performance of the entire product also be higher.

Regular deformation

Although powdered high-speed steel has a special structure, dimensional deformation will also occur during the heat treatment process. However, compared with the irregular deformation of ordinary high-speed steel, PMHSS will cause regular deformation of the entire product. In other words, during the heat treatment process of grinding high-speed steel, all parts will become larger at the same time.

Difference in price

The production process of powder metallurgy high-speed steel is complex and the cost is high.

PMHSS is generally 4 to 8 times more expensive than ordinary high-speed steel, so it is usually used to manufacture precision and complex tools or tools for CNC machine tools.

However, the performance of cutting tools made of PMHSS is better than that of ordinary HSS, and the service life is longer than that of ordinary HSS (generally 2 to 3 times).

Application of Powder metallurgy high speed (PMHSS)

• Powder metallurgy high speed steel has good mechanical properties. Suitable for manufacturing: tools that are prone to chipping under intermittent cutting conditions, tools with high strength and sharp cutting edges. Such as gear shaper cutters, hobs, milling cutters, and tools used under high-pressure dynamic loads.
• It has small carbide segregation, fine grains and good wear resistance. Suitable for manufacturing: large-size knives, precision knives, complex knives.
• This type of material has high thermal hardness at high temperatures and is suitable for making tools for difficult-to-machine materials. It is indeed comprehensive.

The development of Powder metallurgy high speed in China

Although China is a major producer of high-speed steel cutting tools, with output and export volume ranking first in the world, China’s high-speed steel industry is still limited by technical barriers and other factors. Currently, the high-end high-speed steel market is still monopolized by overseas brands. At present, most of the powdered metallurgy high-speed steel (PMHSS) is still imported into China.

Due to the high price, many users cannot afford the high cost. In recent years, China has also begun to develop Chinese powder high-speed steel, such as TG’s TPM330. The following is a comparison of the chemical composition of TPM330 with ASP23 and M3-2

Although China’s TPM330 cannot completely replace ASP23 at present, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice. Under the use conditions of some punch materials, the national standard TPM330 also has a longer service life and better performance than ordinary ones such as M2, M42, and DC53. However, for IC packaging molds and complex-shaped workpieces, you can only choose ASP23 because the purity cannot reach  TG. TG is the third generation of powder metallurgy, and ASP is the fifth generation.

In conclusion

The special and advanced smelting method of PMHSS is an innovation in high-speed steel smelting, which creates a new steel type with properties between cemented carbide and ordinary HSS. The rise of PMHSS has brought new breakthroughs in tool materials for the machinery manufacturing and processing industry. As a new steel type with excellent performance, it has gradually been recognized, accepted and loved by people, and is playing an increasingly important role in the machinery industry.

In short, PMHSS is a very excellent high-performance steel with fine grain structure, high wear resistance, high toughness and other characteristics. And is suitable for high-precision and high-efficiency processing applications.

It can be used not only to manufacture various types of tools and cutters, but also to manufacture high-quality mechanical parts and bearings, etc. In the future, with the continuous development of powder metallurgy technology, it is believed that the application scope of  PMHSS will be further expanded.
