Applications:
The application is decided by T1 steel chemical composition and properties.
It is mainly used to make complex blades and impact-resistant metal cutting tools.
It can also manufacture high-temperature bearings and cold extrusion dies.
It also is used to make gear tools, milling tools, and tools such as punches, cutters and etc.

RELATIVE PROPERTIES
Treatment | Temperature Range | Cooling/Quenching | Notes |
Forging | 1700-2100° F | Slow | Cool slowly in dry sand or in other insulating media |
Annealing | 1600-1650° F | Cool slowly at a rate of 35° F per hour to 1000° F | For best results, insulating media is desirable. Hold at temperature for 2 hours |
Stress Relieving | 1100-1300° F | Cool slowly | Stress relieve after rough machining |
Preheating | 1500-1550° F | Preheat time in furnace is Hr. per inch of thickness. Heating up to temperature as slow as possible | |
Hardening | 2325-2375° F(furnace) 2275-2350°F(salt bath) | Quench in air or warm oil. To minimize quenching strains, quench in salt at 1000° F | For maximum wear resistance, harden at 2375° F. For maximum toughness and high hardness, harden at 2275° F |
Tempering | 1022° F-1058°F | Temper T1 tool steel immediately after quenching. Hold for at least 2 hours | Double tempering is recommended. The usual tempering time is 2+2 hours.Recommended temperature is 1000-1075° F for cutting tools. 1100-1200° F for shock tools |
