1.2311 steel
1.2311 is a pre hardened high tensile tool steel which offers ready machineability in the hardened and tempered condition, therefore does not always require further heat treatment . This eliminates the risks, cost, and waiting time of heat treatment and avoids the associated possibility of distortion or even cracking. Subsequent 1.2311 component modifications can easily be carried out.Visit the West Yorkshire Steel Co Ltd website for more information on 1.2311 steel
