	eFunda: General Information on Tool Steels
		Tool steels are steels that are primarily used to make tools used in manufacturing processes as well as for machining metals, woods, and plastics.
		Tool steels are generally ingot-cast wrought products, and must be able to withstand high specific loads as well as be stable at elevated temperatures.
		They are among the toughest of the tool steels, and are typically used for screw driver blades, shear blades, chisels, knockout pins, punches, and riveting tools.

	A Woodworker's Guide to Tool Steel and Heat Treating
		Untempered, hardened tool steel is nearly as brittle as glass.
		The tool is then retempered after the cryogenic treatment, and studies show that this results in substantially increased wear resistance.
		As the steel is heated, an oxide layer forms on the surface; its thickness (and thus the interference color as light is reflected) is a function of temperature.

	Alloyed tool and die steels
		In non-shrinking steels the volume changes counterbalance each other, and such steels are required for master tools, gauges and dies which must not change size when hardened after machining in the annealed condition.
		Sensitivity of die steels to distortion during heat-treatment is largely affected by directionality and particle size of the carbides in the microstructure.
		The main constituents in high-speed steel are 14 or 18% tungsten, 3 to 5% chromium and 0,6% carbon.

		It is the loss of carbon from the surface of a tool steel as a result of heating at a high temperature in a medium or atmosphere that reacts with carbon.
		The bulk of all tool steel sold is the form of such "hot rolled" bars which go directly from mill inspection to the warehouses.
		The tools steel bars are first pickled, then drawn through a die to elongate the grains of steel and render the outside of the bars smooth and accurate to size.

	Coated tool steel and machining tool formed therefrom - Patent 4169913
		As for a cemented carbide tool, since it is applied to cutting at a higher speed than a tool of tool steel, relatively greater adhesive wear resistance together with the abrasive wear resistance is required.
		AISI 1049 crank shaft pin for automobiles was subjected to turning by using the tool of the invention at a cutting speed of 22 to 25 m/min, a feed of 0.08 mm/min and a cutting depth of 2.5 to 3 mm in the presence of cutting oil.
		With this coated tool, a non-magnetic steel was machined to form a groove of 22 mm in width, 6 mm in depth and 50 mm in length at a cutting speed of 15 mm/min and feed of 0.05 mm per edge in the presence of cutting oil.

	[No title]
		A common coating element for carbide tools because it reduces abrasive wear of the tool.
		The unwanted rough edge on a cutting tool that is created by workpiece material welding onto the tool during cutting.
		CBN tools are very effective at machining most steels and cast irons, but they are also very expensive.

	[Ganoksin] The Art of Tool Making
		The tool must have the correct shape for the work which it is to do, and the tool must be hard enough to last a long time.
		Once the tool is thoroughly heated, remove it from the heat, grasping it by the end you strike with the hammer, not the point.
		Tool steel is sold in the annealed state -- when you buy it, it is soft enough to cut with a file or a machine tool like a lathe.

	Crucible Tool Steel and Specialty Alloy General Information
		However, with a variety of tool steels available for manufacturing metal forming tools, it is often possible to choose a tool steel with a favorable combination of properties for particular applications.
		Tool users can examine failed tools to determine which property may have been lacking in a tool, or which properties should be improved, and what other properties must be considered in alternate materials with the required improved properties.
		In cold work tool steels, the carbide content in general, and to a limited extent the vanadium content in particular, may sometimes be used as a rough predictor of potential wear life.

	Tool Steel Gospel According to Hock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		"Tool Steel" refers to a class of steels that are metallurgically very "clean" and fall within strict limits for alloy proportions.
		High-speed steels are essential in metal-working tools (drills, milling cutters, etc.) and "stainless" steels can be cost effective by resisting rust during the manufacture, shipping, and storage of the tool itself.
		Correctly heat-treated, tools made from high-speed, stainless, and "chrome-vanadium" steels may hold an edge well in woodworking applications, but, due to the large, hard carbide particles that form during hardening, they are difficult to sharpen and cannot be honed as sharply as a blade of plain high-carbon steel.

	Tool steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, proper heat treating of these steels is important for adequate performance, and there are many suppliers who provide tooling blanks intended for oil quenching.
		Choice of grade depends on, among other things, whether a keen cutting edge is necessary, as in stamping dies, or whether the tool has to withstand impact loading and service conditions encountered with such hand tools as axes, pickaxes, and quarrying implements.
		The higher carbon grades are typically used for such applications as stamping dies, metal cutting tools, etc..

	Tool Steel
		O-6 is an oil-hardening cold work tool steel which has outstanding machinability resulting from small particles of graphitic carbon uniformly dispersed throughout the steel.
		A-6 is an air-hardening, non-deforming tool steel that combines the deep hardening characteristics of air-hardening steels with the simplicity of low temperature heat treatment possible in many of the oil-hardening grades.
		L-6 is a tough, oil-hardening tool steel possessing a fine-grained structure and desirable shock resistance.

	High speed steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main use of high speed steels continues to be in the manufacture of various cutting tools: drills, taps, milling cutters, tool bits, gear cutters, saw blades, etc., although usage for punches and dies is increasing.
		High carbon steel remains a good choice for low speed applications where a very keen (sharp) edge is required, such as files, chisels and hand plane blades.
		When tool steels contain a combination of more than 7% tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium and cobalt along with more than 0.60% carbon, they are referred to as high speed steels (HSS).
