Tool Wrap
Tool Wrap is a revolutionary new approach to the heat treatment process. Here's how it works: wrap your parts in our special Tool Wrap as you would a package or a sandwich because Tool Wrap can be wrinkled, folded or cut with scissors (.002 thick T321 Stainless). Then place in your furnace and air cool as usual with the Tool Wrap on the material. Try Tool Wrap on all air hardening grades and hot work steels.
Flat Ground Stock
4142 Flat Ground Stock is a modified pre-hardened alloy steal with a Brinell hardness of 261-321 (RC28-32). It is normalized and tempered in a machinable condition of approximately 85% of a 1.00 carbon steel. It is useful in applications requiring a lower hardness and less wear resistance than a fully heat treated tool steel, but can be flame-hardened where a hardness is desired.
Drill Rod
D2 is an air-hardening, high carbon, high chromium tool steel with extremely high wear resisting properties. It is a very deep hardening steel and will be practically free from size change after proper treatment. The high percentage of chromium gives it mild corrosion-resisting properties in the hardened condition.
