CarTech® No. 481

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

CarTech No. 481 is a fine-grained, oil hardening, electric furnace shock steel. It combines exceptional toughness to withstand stresses in service with good hardness to resist wear and abrasion. CarTech No. 481 is carefully processed to impart uniform response to heat treatment in both large and small sections.

Applications:
CarTech No. 481 was originally designed as a collet steel. The alloy's exceptional toughness and ability to resist wear and abrasion has produced exceptionally long-lasting collets.

In addition, CarTech No. 481 has found applications in a variety of other tooling applications such as:

Pneumatic tools
Chipping chisels
Beating tools
Caulking tools
Flaring tools
Scarfing tools
Button sets
Rivet sets
Shear blades
Clutch dogs
Vise jaws

CarTech No. 481 could be considered for use wherever extreme toughness is a requirement.
