Tool steels are compared to each other. They are usually measured by toughness, hardness and wear resistance. The toughness is detemined by an Charpy impact test. The hardness is measured by a Rockwell hardness tester and reported as HRC or RC. The wear resistance is measured by a number of tests that measured the amount of material removed from the original size after a repetitive movement against an abrasive material.

These figures are then gathered and presented on a chart. The grades are then compared with one another based on these three properties.

What is the density of tool steel?

The density of tool steel varies depending on the chemical composition of the grade. The density range is between .268 and .298 pounds per cubic inch. Most grades tend to weigh-in at about .28 pounds per cubic inch. Grades with a high content of vanadium tend to be slightly lighter than most grades because vanadium is lighter than iron. Grades with a high content of tungsten or molybdenum tend to have a higher density because these elements are heavier than iron.
