Garg Steels, a top-notch manufacturer and supplier based in Chennai, India, specializes in high-quality Tool and Die Steel S7 Bars. These bars are celebrated for their outstanding impact resistance, toughness, and versatility, making them perfect for both cold and hot work tooling environments. Committed to upholding global quality standards, Garg Steels guarantees that every S7 bar meets the rigorous demands of the tooling industry. Available in a variety of sizes and finishes, their S7 steel bars are designed for applications that require strength, durability, and shock load resistance, serving sectors like automotive, forging, and heavy engineering with dependable performance.
Tool and Die Steel S7 Bars are air-hardening, shock-resistant tool steels made up of about 0.45% carbon, 3.25% chromium, 1.4% molybdenum, and 0.3% vanadium. This unique blend provides a remarkable combination of high impact toughness and moderate wear resistance. Typically, S7 bars reach hardness levels of up to 58 HRC and maintain excellent dimensional stability after heat treatment. They also offer good machinability and can endure both cryogenic and elevated temperatures. Garg Steels meticulously controls the chemical and mechanical properties, ensuring their S7 Bars are perfect for demanding tooling and industrial applications.
