CarTech® O6

Generic Family: Steel - Wrought - Tool Steel • Supplied by: Carpenter Technology Corporation

CarTech 06 is an oil-hardening tool steel designed for cold work applications. It is designed to have free graphite in the microstructure. This free graphite is responsible for the excellent machinability characteristics of this grade.

CarTech 06 is available in decarb-free flats. These decarb-free flats have a microinch finish of under 150 on all four sides, eliminating the need for bar bark removal.
