Crucible Tool Steel and Specialty Alloy Selector
		This Crucible publication is a revision of our original Tool & High Speed Steel Selector which the company has published for many years. One major change in the 1999 version is the addition of a table of contents and an index. Each tabbed section now includes its own table of contents printed on the tab page. New grades have been added, obsolete grades deleted, and all of the heat treating and property information has been reviewed and updated. A General Information section has been added, containing informative articles on various topics including tool steel selection, heat treatment, the CPM® process, CPM high speed steels, CPM tool steels, as well as some recommendations for grinding and welding. There is a new section on Stainless Tool Steels and a Special Products section has been added which includes information on drill rod, ground flat stock, stainless foil, Readi-Blanks®, and CRU-CLAD®. PLEASE NOTE: Applications shown in this volume are typical. Your specific application should not be undertaken without independent study and evaluation for suitability. Properties shown throughout the data pages are typical values. Normal variations in chemistry, size, and heat treat conditions may cause deviations.
