Oil Hardening Non-Distorting
Tool steels are special analyses developed to do a wide variety of special tooling jobs such as cutting, forming, shearing, battering, etc. The analyses are formulated to provide specific properties such as wear resistance, toughness, red hardness and the ability to be heat treated to high hardness while maintaining a predictable size.

Preheat thoroughly at 1200ºF then heat to 1450ºF to
1500ºF depending on section size. Hold until uniformly heated
through. Quench in warm thin quenching oil to about 125ºF
and temper immediately.
