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.EB alloy is a high-carbon chromium alloy steel for general hot-work applications. It possesses good compressive strength and hot mechanical properties. It is recommended for hot header and gripper dies, shear blades, hot rivet sets, forging dies, cold forming and embossing dies.
