O1 Drill Rod, is anoil-hardening, non-deforming tool steel which can be hardened at relatively low temperatures. Tools and dies made from O1 Drill Rod will have good wearing and abrasive qualities since the tungsten and higher chromium content gives improved wear resistance. O1 Drill Rods are ground to a surface finish of better than 40 micro inches and are free from defects and decarburization. All Drill Rod grades are supplied in the annealed condition.
