Carbon tool steel

Carbon tool steel is a type of high-carbon steel that contains minimal or no alloying elements. Its carbon content typically ranges from 0.65% to 1.35%, making it ideal for applications requiring high hardness and wear resistance. This material is cost-effective, easily available, and offers good machinability, allowing it to achieve excellent hardness after heat treatment. Due to these properties, it is widely used in the production of cutting tools, molds, and measuring instruments.

However, one major limitation of carbon tool steel is its poor red hardness. When exposed to temperatures above 250°C, the material loses a significant amount of its hardness and wear resistance, which can lead to failure during high-temperature operations. Additionally, larger parts made from this steel are difficult to harden uniformly, and they are more prone to distortion and cracking during the heat treatment process. These drawbacks make it less suitable for applications involving high thermal stress or large-scale components.

Despite these limitations, carbon tool steel remains a popular choice in certain industrial settings due to its affordability and performance in low-temperature environments. Engineers often select it for tools that don't require high thermal stability, such as hand tools, chisels, and other precision instruments where wear resistance is more critical than heat resistance.

Wiper Seals

Wiper Seals are a type of mechanical seal commonly used to protect piston rods and pistons in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. The main function of Wiper Seals is to prevent dust, dirt, and other impurities from entering the interior of the equipment, thereby protecting the sealing performance of the piston rod and piston, and extending the service life of the equipment.


Wiper Seals are typically made of elastic materials such as polyurethane, nitrile rubber, fluororubber, etc. These materials have excellent wear resistance and chemical resistance, and can maintain stable performance in various harsh environments.


Wiper Seals are typically divided into two types: unidirectional and bidirectional. Unidirectional Wiper Seals can only prevent dirt and impurities from entering the device from one direction, while bidirectional Wiper Seals can simultaneously prevent dirt and impurities from entering the device from both directions.


Wiper Seals can also be customized according to different application requirements. For example, for high-speed rotating devices, special Wiper Seals can be used to ensure that they do not generate excessive heat and friction during high-speed rotation. For equipment used in harsh environments, special materials such as corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and low-temperature resistant Wiper Seals can be used.


In summary, Wiper Seals are in dispensable mechanical seals in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, and their excellent performance and reliable sealing performance provide important guarantees for the normal operation of the equipment. If you need a Wiper Seals product, you can contact a professional seal manufacturer to customize the appropriate Wiper Seals for your device according to your specific needs.
