Tool Steel Standards

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes requirements for the manufacture and certification of tool steel rings for magnetic particle inspection.

1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and physical requirements for available wrought alloy tool steel products. 1.2 These products, which include hot or cold finished bar, plate, sheet, strip, rod, wire, or forgings, are normally fabricated into tools, dies,...

This document specifies requirements for the following grades of wrought tool steels: a) non-alloy cold-work tool steels; b) alloy cold-work tool steels; c) alloy hot-work tool steels; d) high-speed tool steels. If not stated...

This document specifies tool steel compositions for castings. NOTE Annex A gives information on ISO grade designation and available UNS numbers which are similar to the ISO grade designation.

This specification covers tool steel compositions appropriate for usable shapes cast by pouring directly into suitable molds and for master heats for remelting and casting. Grades of the tool steel covered in this specification include air- and oil-hardening grades such...

This document specifies requirements for the following grades of wrought tool steels: a) non-alloy cold-work tool steels; b) alloy cold-work tool steels; c) alloy hot-work tool steels; d) high-speed tool steels. If not stated...

This Standard specifies the high speed tool steels (hereafter referred to as "tool steels") manufactured by hot-rolling or forging. NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows. ISO 4957 : 1999...

This practice covers macroetch testing used for evaluating the quality of tool steel bars. This test shall be used as a quality control and inspection test to reveal by deep acid etching, the macrostructure in specimens cut from bars and to show the presence, absence, and severity of...

1.1 This specification covers tungsten-type and molybdenum-type high-speed steels available as annealed, hot-rolled bars, forgings, plate, sheet, or strip, and annealed, cold-finished bars or forgings used primarily in the fabrication of tools. 1.2 Seven types of tungsten high-speed...
