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.POTOMAC 2V is a high-carbon, high-vanadium modification of the well-known 5% chromium hot-work tool steel. It has improved wear resistance and the necessary toughness for severe forming applications. It is recommended for such applications as hot dies for extrusions and forgings, piercing points and hot punches.
