Abstract AL TECH A-HT is a tool steel for difficult cold-work applications. It is somewhat similar to AISI Type A2 in alloy content but with increased wear resistance. Additions of titanium and tungsten produce hard, long-wearing carbides that help to decrease galling and metal pick-up. The main advantages of AL TECH A-HT are: (1) Very high wear resistance, (2) Good toughness, (3) Air hardening and (4) Low distortion in heat treatment. A-HT is used where better wear resistance is required than is attainable using AISI Type A2 or better toughness than AISI Type D2. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, elasticity, and compressive strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-457. Producer or source: AL Tech Specialty Steel Corporation.

Abstract AL TECH APACHE is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel that exhibits less distortion during heat treatment than water or oil-hardening steels and most high-alloy, air-hardening die steels. Its low-distortion characteristic makes it particulary attractive for applications where close size tolerance is important, such as master hubs, trim dies, molds for plastics, bending tools, notching dies and coining dies. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-472. Producer or source: AL Tech Specialty Steel Corporation.
