AISI S7 Mold Quality Tool Steel – Shock-Resistant & High Toughness
What is S7 Mold Quality Steel?
AISI S7 is a shock-resistant tool steel known for its exceptional toughness, high impact resistance, and superior machinability. With its excellent combination of strength and wear resistance, S7 is ideal for mold-making and tooling applications requiring durability under extreme conditions. The steel is very clean and has a homogeneous microstructure. These features are achieved through strict processing control and a maximum sulfur content of 0.005%.
Key Properties of AISI S7 Steel
✔ Superior Impact Resistance – Withstands heavy shock loads.
✔ High Toughness – Reduces risk of cracking or chipping.
✔ Excellent Machinability – Easier to machine compared to other tool steels.
✔ Good Wear Resistance – Provides long tool life.
✔ Air-Hardening Properties – Minimizes distortion during heat treatment.
Common Applications of AISI S7 Mold Quality Steel
AISI S7 is widely used in industries requiring high-strength molds, dies, and impact-resistant tools. Typical applications include:
