O6 Tool Steel

Introduction to O6 Tool Steel

O6 tool steel is a high-carbon, oil-hardening alloy recognized for its
excellent toughness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. Designed for
demanding applications, O6 is widely used in the production of cutting tools,
dies, punches, and other components that require both impact resistance and
long-term durability.

Key Properties of O6 Tool Steel

  • High Toughness: Withstands impact and shock loading without
    cracking or deforming.
  • Wear Resistance: Performs reliably in abrasive
    environments, extending tool life.
  • Dimensional Stability: Maintains tight tolerances with low
    distortion during heat treatment.
  • Alloy Composition: Contains chromium, molybdenum, and
    tungsten, which contribute to its hardness and resistance to deformation.

Heat Treatment Characteristics

O6 tool steel is typically supplied in an annealed or normalized condition and
can be heat treated to achieve specific performance requirements. Heat
treatment enhances hardness, toughness, and wear resistance, making the alloy
adaptable for a variety of manufacturing applications.

Common Applications of O6 Tool Steel

  • Cutting tools and shears
  • Dies and punches
  • Forming tools requiring impact resistance
  • Aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing components

At Mozaic Precision Metals, we supply precision-ground O6
tool steel bar stock designed to deliver reliability and consistency in
high-performance applications. Its combination of toughness, wear resistance,
and dimensional stability makes it a trusted choice for toolmakers and
manufacturers worldwide.

Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties of O6 Tool Steel

O6 tool steel round stock is a high-performance alloy designed for wear
resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability. Its unique blend of carbon,
chromium, tungsten, and molybdenum delivers a balance of hardness and
durability, making it a reliable material for demanding tool and die
applications.

Chemical Composition of O6 Tool Steel

  • Carbon: Provides high hardness and exceptional wear resistance.
  • Chromium: Improves corrosion resistance and overall toughness.
  • Tungsten: Enhances strength, hardness, and resistance to deformation.
  • Molybdenum: Contributes to high-temperature stability and toughness.

Mechanical Properties of O6 Tool Steel

The mechanical performance of O6 tool steel depends largely on its heat
treatment. With proper processing, it can achieve excellent hardness, strength,
and toughness for high-stress applications.

  • Wear Resistance: High carbon content provides superior protection against abrasion.
  • Hardness: Achieves high hardness values after quenching and tempering.
  • Toughness: Maintains strength under impact and repeated stress.
  • Heat Treatability: Properties can be enhanced through quenching, tempering, and other heat treatment processes.
