What are low alloy steels made out of?

Mostly iron. the "low" of the 'low alloy' can refer to both the carbon content and the prorprtion of other metals in the alloy.Alloy steels are broken down into two groups: low-alloy steels and high-alloy steels. The difference between the two is somewhat arbitrary: Smith and Hashemi define the difference at 4.0%, while Degarmo, et al., define it at 8.0%.

How much does tool steel cost?

Ths cost of tool steel is dependent on many factors including the alloy content and the manufacturing cost. Low alloy tool steels can be boought for less than $2.00 per pound. High alloy tool steels and high speed steels are sold for as much as $30.00 per pound. See the related links below for more information about the cost of tool steels
