1.1730 Carbon Tool Steel
1.1730 carbon tool steel stockholders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the Middle East. 1.1730 is a medium carbon unalloyed tool steel grade offering reasonable tensile strength. This grade can be hardened and tempered to produce a good surface hardness with moderate wear resistance. 1.1730 is widely used for components that require good machinability and wear resistant properties but does not justify the costs of an alloyed tool steel. Available from stock in round bar and cut plate.

1.1730 Ground Flat Stock
Precision ground flat stock / gauge plate can be supplied in 500mm / 1000mm lengths. Non-standard sizes can be produced in approximately 2 to 3 weeks.
Forging
Preheat carefully, then raise the steel to a temperature of 1100°C for forging. Do not forge below 850°C. After forging cool slowly, preferably in a furnace.
Annealing
Heat slowly to 680-710°C, soak well. Cool slowly in the furnace.
Hardening
Heat the component slowly to 820-870°C and allow it to be heated through. Quench in oil or water.
Tampering
Temper immediately after quenching whilst tools are still hand warm. Re-heat to the tempering temperature then soak for one hour per 25 millimetre of total thickness (2 hours minimum) Cool in air.
