SK4 Steel Strip

JIS G3311 · ASTM W1-10 · GB T10 · EN C105W1 / 1.1545

Overview

SK4 is a high-carbon tool steel designation used as a candidate for tools, punches and cold-work parts. Chemistry, delivery condition, microstructure and finished-part properties must be verified against the governing standard and order specification.

Typical Applications

Turning Tools

Lathe tools and woodworking cutters. Hardened to 60-64 HRC for excellent edge retention in cutting applications.

Punches & Dies

Blanking punches, drawing dies, and forming tools. High hardness with adequate toughness for cold work tooling.

Cold Work Tooling

Gauges, templates, and precision tooling. Excellent dimensional stability and wear resistance after heat treatment.
