TO1 tool steel is an oil-hardening, cold work steel that consists of Carbon (0.85–1.00%), Chromium (0.40–0.60%), Manganese (1.00–1.20%), Tungsten (0.50–0.60%), along with trace amounts of Vanadium, Silicon, and Iron. It boasts high dimensional stability, impressive wear resistance, and remarkable hardness after heat treatment—typically achieving 57–62 HRC. In its hardened state, O1 can provide a tensile strength of up to 1,200 MPa. Renowned for its ease of machining when annealed, O1 is a favored choice for precision tools that demand sharp edges, durability, and consistent performance under pressure.

Tool and Die Steel O1 bars are extensively utilized in cold work applications thanks to their outstanding hardening capabilities and dimensional stability. They’re perfect for crafting precision cutting tools, blanking dies, punches, broaches, and forming tools. O1 is also a popular choice in knife making, woodworking tools, and gauges where a sharp, long-lasting edge is essential. Its ability to retain hardness and resist wear makes it ideal for applications that involve moderate impact and abrasion. Plus, O1’s machinability in the annealed state and excellent finish after heat treatment further enhance its appeal in various industrial settings.
