View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.CYCLOPS L6 is an oil-hardening tool steel recommended for any tool-steel application requiring relatively great toughness, or where intricate shapes preclude the use of water-hardening steels. It is also recommended for machine parts and other components that require an excellent combination of hardness, wear resistance, compressive strength and toughness. Typical applications include dies of various types, arbors, punches, pinions, shear blades and clutch parts.
