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 L2 is the tool steel counterpart of one of the widely used chromium-vanadium low-alloy steels. It exhibits exceptional strength, toughness and resistance to fatigue; it may be used where these characteristics are more important than extreme hardness. Cyclops L2 has only modest hardenability but it has good resistance to abrasion and wear in the hardened condition.
