beaver tool steel
(OP)
Hello,
I'm looking for an alternative to 'beaver' tool steel made by Atlas Specialty Metals, who went bankrupt about 10 yrs ago.
So far, I have been able to find out its composition:
C 0.68
Mn 1.20
Si 1.00
Cr 8.25
V 1.00
Mo 1.40
Ni 1.50
I appreciate any and all help.
Pete

RE: beaver tool steel
8 Chrome tool steels aren't that common so if you could comeback with the end use it would help find a comparable steel.
RE: beaver tool steel
attached is a PDF I was able to find showing beaver plus other tools steels Atlas used to produce. The PDF also has a thermal treatment and tempering curves which may be of some help...
The end use is steel bending/punching application.. We produce cloth cutting dies and these tools bend the steel to required shape.
Thanks

Somewhere in the windmills of my mind I believe that Hitachi and Atlas once had a working agreement to produce tool steels. I also think Republic got in the mix somehow and turned into Keystone Profiles.
