Precision Drill Rod Datasheet
O1 Oil Hardening
Typical Analysis
| Carbon 0.90 | Vanadium 0.20 |
| Manganese 1.20 | Chromium 0.50 |
| Silicon 0.30 |
The most widely used grade of drill rod. It is a general purpose tool steel, outstanding for its reliability in hardening, good wear resistance, and excellent toughness.
W1 Water Hardening
Typical Analysis
| d | d |
|---|---|
| Carbon 0.95 to 1.10 |
Water hardening grade is intended to meet the needs of the machine shop for average work
wherever better grades of tool steel drill rod are not required.
A2 Air Hardening
Typical Analysis
| Carbon 1.00 | Vanadium 0.25 |
| Molybdenum 1.10 | Chromium 5.25 |
| Manganese 0.60 |
A2 is recommended rather than O1 when increased wear resistance, safer hardening, and less distortion are required.
S7 Air Hardening Super Shock
Typical Analysis
| Carbon 0.50 | Molybdenum 1.40 |
| Silicon 0.25 | Chromium 3.25 |
| Manganese 0.70 |
A new outstanding air-hardening drill rod – the toughest, strongest drill rod for so many jobs that require maximum strength and impact.
D2 High Carbon – High Chrome
Typical Analysis
| Carbon 1.50 | Molybdenum 0.75 |
| Chromium 12.00 | Vanadium 0.25 to 0.80 |
An air-hardening type steel, known for its maximum wear resistance qualities. It is ideal for use in tools, dies, etc., used in long production runs.
M2 Moly-Tungsten-High Speed
Typical Analysis
| Carbon 0.83 | Chromium 4.15 |
| Molybdenum 5.00 | Vanadium 1.90 |
| Manganese 6.35 |
The most widely used type of high-speed steel and, in general, can be used for the same
applications as T-1 high speed. Its higher carbon content and balance analysis produce
properties applicable to all general-purpose high-speed uses.
