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.BUSTER ALLOY 60 is a widely accepted tungsten shock-resisting tool steel. Its performance is unequalled in most shock and impact tools used under very demanding conditions. It is deep hardening and combines this quality with excellent wear resistance and good toughness. Buster Alloy 60 will withstand repeated heating to 700-800 F, when used in lower temperature hot-work applications. Among its many uses are shear blades, hand chisels, pneumatic tools, coining dies, hot-heading dies, forging dies and machine parts.
