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.BOFORS BP20-2 is a vacuum-degassed (BOVAC*) alloy tool steel recommended for plastic molds, brake dies, die-casting dies for tin, lead and zinc alloys, and for constructional parts. It is supplied prehardened to 270-300 Brinell and needs no further heat treatment before use; however, it may be heat treated for a number of applications that require higher hardness and strength.
