Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to edge damage or deformation.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools designed for thick metal stock.
Inadequate heat treatment, resulting in compromised hardness or brittleness.Follow strict heat treatment protocols, including precise quenching and tempering temperatures and durations, as dictated by the specific carbon steel grade.

Common Applications

  • Chisel blanks
  • Hammer heads
  • Punch and die sets
