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.CROMO-V is a 5% chromium hot-work steel with an excellent combination of red-hardness, shock resistance and abrasion resistance; these are the properties needed for good hot-work characteristics. It will withstand drastic cooling from maximum operating temperatures.
