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.LESCO S-7 is an air or oil-hardening die steel with a unique combination of toughness and wear-resistance properties that makes it an ideal choice for many tooling applications. The outstanding properties of Lesco S-7 are provided by an intermediate carbon level balanced with moderate amounts of chromium and molybdenum. It is used for both cold and hot tooling applications. Its many uses include shear blades, swaging dies, chisels and dies for molding plastics below 1000 F (538 C).
