Letter U (0.368") Diam Tool Steel W-1 Water Hardening Drill Rod MPN:06019210

The letter U tool steel drill rod measuring 0.368 inches diameter has W-1 classification as water hardening which guarantees high tensile strength & toughness along with great ductility, making it ideal for machining operations needing a combination of properties suitable to resist breakage during heavy workloads, while being able to take an excellent polish or be heat treated using traditional quenching medium-water. The 12-inch length piece offers ease of use due to its manageable size in most machining setups while maintaining accuracy throughout all dimensions when used for making drill bits or twist drills with various lengths & diameter tapering options. This W-1 grade material is suitable for diverse applications within the aerospace industry where components must endure extreme forces yet stay intact due to shock resistance or heavy-duty tools usage without deforming under pressure, thus proving essential when demanding rigidness paired with durability qualities that are characteristic of high carbon content in this alloy.
