Lvov sheet, circle tool steel U8A, HVG, 9XC, 5HNM, R6M5, spring-loaded 65G

U8a steel is used for the manufacture of tools operating in conditionally not requiring preheating of the working edge. These can be tools for woodworking (cleaver, pollen, ax, chisel), medium-sized pneumatic tools (chisel, crimps ..), bench and assembly tools (hammer, sledgehammer, pliers ...).

y8a is also used for the manufacture of cold heading dies.

Steel 6 min is ideal for the manufacture of guillotines.

Tools are made of steel u8a have high strength and impact resistance. Benefits of carbon steel

Carbon tool steel has very high strength during machining. Usually with its help small tools are produced, the cross section of which does not exceed 25 mm. In this case, the critical diameter is slightly more than 15 mm. In addition, the material has several advantages. This:

    hardening at a low temperature;
    increased rigidity and wear resistance of the surface, while the core remains relatively viscous;
    good machinability.

Thanks to the latter characteristic, the surface of products made from carbon tool steel can be knurled. With the help of carbon steel, alloyed steel is formed. The material is combined with tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, as well as other chemical elements. Due to this, the strength characteristics of the product and its viscosity increase. The most popular grades of alloyed steel include KhVG, 9KhS, Kh12MF, 6KhV2S, 5KhNM, 4Kh5MFS. In order to choose the right tool steel, it is also necessary to take into account the operational properties, as well as the chemical elements that make up the material. Fortunately, the latter is very easy to find out - just look at the markings. The name of a brand consists of letters and numbers. The former indicate the elements, the latter indicate their percentage. For example, the X12MF brand stands for: 12% chromium (X12), the presence of molybdenum (M) and vanadium (F). More often it is used to create sharp knives, including hunting ones.
