Shock-resistant tool steels are used for tools that fail by impact, chipping, cracking, or sudden fracture. The damage that repeated impacts do to a surface, and the coefficient data behind it, are set out in the impact wear and spalling page<\/a>. Most shock-resistant tool steels belong to the AISI S-series, valued primarily for toughness rather than maximum abrasive wear resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aobo Steel supplies S-series shock-resisting tool steel in bulk round bar and flat bar for punches, chisels, shear blades, pneumatic tools, forming tools, and impact-loaded industrial tooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\nShock-Resistant Tool Steels Available from Aobo Steel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
