Tool Steel Drill Rod W1 offers good strength and durability. W1 is a water hardening tool steel that is one of the most commonly used tool steels due to its strong characteristics. It does undergo a decent amount of distortion during quenching, so do be aware of that. It is typically used in shafts, pins, blacksmithing tools, and short term wearing tooling.

The W1 Drill Rod is available in three precision ground lengths: 36 inches, 72 inches, and 144 inches, allowing you to choose the size that best fits your project needs.

Yes, this tool steel drill rod offers good strength and durability with a yield tensile strength of 48 ksi and an ultimate tensile strength of 86 ksi, making it ideal for shafts, pins, blacksmithing tools, and short-term wearing tooling.

Yes, a Material Test Report (MTR) is available for this W1 tool steel drill rod to verify its chemical and mechanical properties.

The W1 Drill Rod is RoHS compliant (Yes 6C) but does not comply with REACH regulations.

W1 tool steel undergoes a decent amount of distortion during quenching, so it is important to account for this in your design and processing to ensure dimensional accuracy.
