Several kinds of measuring tools and their properties and uses
9SiCr
Performance: 9SiCr is a commonly used low-alloy tool steel known for its high hardenability, excellent quenching and tempering stability. It is ideal for graded quenching and austempering processes, resulting in minimal heat treatment deformation. This makes it a preferred choice for precision applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. Uses: This material is widely used to manufacture tools with complex shapes that require minimal deformation, high wear resistance, and are typically used for low-speed cutting. Examples include drills, thread cutting tools, taps, reamers, rolling wheels, gear cutters, machine dies, and printing molds. It is also suitable for cold rolls, calibration rollers, and slender components that demand structural integrity. Production Varieties: Available in hot-rolled, forged, and cold-drawn forms, as well as hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel wire, and bright silver wire. These options allow flexibility in manufacturing based on specific application requirements. 8MnSi
Performance: 8MnSi is a carbon tool steel enhanced by increasing the manganese and silicon content compared to T8 steel. This addition improves the hardenability of the material, making it more suitable for applications requiring better mechanical properties while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Uses: Primarily used for woodworking tools such as chisels and saw blades, as well as inserts and other cutting elements. Its versatility allows it to be applied in various manual and semi-automated cutting operations. Production Varieties: Available in hot-rolled, forged, and cold-drawn materials, offering different levels of strength and formability depending on the intended use. CrO6
Performance: CrO6 is a low-alloy measuring tool steel containing a small amount of chromium. After heat treatment, it achieves high hardness and wear resistance. However, due to its high carbon content, it is prone to forming network carbides, which can negatively affect its performance. Tools with large cross-sections or thin blades may experience increased brittleness. Uses: Ideal for low-load cutting tools that require sharp edges, such as surgical instruments, shaving blades, razors, carving knives, trowels, scrapers, and wool shears. It is commonly used in both manual and motorized cutting applications. Production Varieties: Available in hot-rolled, forged, and cold-drawn forms, as well as hot-rolled and cold-drawn steel wire, and bright silver wire. This ensures a wide range of options for different manufacturing needs. Cr2
Performance: Cr2 is a chrome-containing gauge steel made by adding chromium to carbon tool steel T10. Its composition is similar to ball bearing steel GCrl5. The addition of chromium increases hardenability and hardness compared to T10, and it exhibits minimal dimensional changes during heat treatment. Uses: Widely used in the production of measuring tools like templates, gauges, block gauges, ring gauges, threaded plug gauges, and other precision measuring instruments. It is also suitable for cold dies, drawing dies, and low-speed cutting tools such as turning tools, inserts, reamers, cam pins, and cold rolls. Production Varieties: Available in hot-rolled, forged, and cold-drawn forms, as well as hot-rolled and pulled steel wire, providing flexibility for various industrial applications. 9Cr2
Performance: 9Cr2 is a cutting tool steel with a moderate chromium content that enhances its hardenability. Even when quenched in oil, it achieves high hardness after proper heat treatment. It offers good wear resistance and a relatively uniform distribution of carbides, making it suitable for precision machining. Uses: Used for cold tooling, stamping punches, dies, woodworking tools, and cold rolls. It is also suitable for calender rolls and other components that require durability under low-speed cutting conditions. Production Varieties: Available in hot-rolled, forged, and cold-drawn materials, as well as hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel wire. Small to medium-sized modules can be supplied upon request. W
Performance: W is a cutting tool steel containing 0.80%–1.20% tungsten by mass. It offers higher hardness and wear resistance than carbon tool steels, with lower thermal sensitivity and less heat treatment deformation. It is less likely to crack when quenched in water and shows better tempering stability. Due to its limited hardenability, it is best suited for small cross-section tools. Parts up to 10–15 mm thick can achieve uniform high hardness (HRC 64–66). Uses: Ideal for small cross-section tools such as twist drill bits, cones, and manual reamers that do not require high cutting speeds or operate at low temperatures. It is commonly used in precision machining and light-duty cutting applications. Production Varieties: Available in hot-rolled, forged, and cold-drawn forms, as well as cold-drawn steel wire and bright silver wire, ensuring a variety of options for different manufacturing needs.
