W-1 Drill Rod/Flat/Square Tool Steel

W-1 tool steel is stocked at Alro as drill rod, square and flats.  W-1 is a 1% carbon water hardening tool steel that is easy to machine. W-1 provides good wear resistance and toughness for the short run, but will not give tool life as extensive as O-1. W1 drill rod is produced in a ground and polished condition, with a fine surface finish better than 40 micro inches.

W-1 tool steel has a high carbon content allowing it to be used often without heat treatment, for maintenance applications. Treats evenly and provides toughness and maximum wear resistance. W-1 Drill Rods are ground to a surface finish of better than 40 micro inches and are free from defects and decarburization. Drill Rod grades are typically supplied in the annealed condition.
