Luois Metals, located in Houston, USA, stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of OHNS Round Bars, which are also known as Oil-Hardening Non-Shrinking tool steel (similar to AISI O1). These round bars are highly sought after for applications that demand dimensional stability, exceptional wear resistance, and excellent edge retention. OHNS is a favored tool steel grade that hardens in oil, ensuring minimal distortion during heat treatment. Luois Metals offers OHNS round bars in a variety of sizes and conditions, tailored to meet the needs of die-making, cutting tools, and precision components. Our OHNS bars consistently deliver reliable metallurgical properties and tight dimensional tolerances.
OHNS Round Bars are made up of roughly 0.90–1.00% carbon, 0.50–0.60% manganese, and 0.50–0.60% chromium, along with vanadium and tungsten, which boost hardenability, toughness, and abrasion resistance. When subjected to oil-quenching and tempering, OHNS steel reaches a Rockwell hardness of 57–62 HRC, showcasing remarkable dimensional stability. In its annealed state, the typical tensile strength can surpass 800 MPa and significantly increase after heat treatment. This alloy is known for its good machinability and polishability, and it can be flame-hardened or induction-hardened, making it perfect for tooling applications that require durable edges and intricate details.

OHNS Round Bars find extensive use in the tool and die industry, where wear resistance and precise dimensions are essential. Common applications include punches, dies, blanking tools, shear blades, cutting knives, and gauges. The steel’s ability to maintain a sharp edge makes it an excellent choice for woodworking tools, metal cutting tools, and engraving equipment. Its oil-hardening properties help reduce distortion during heat treatment, ensuring reliability for precision tooling. OHNS is also utilized in plastic mold components, industrial knives, and broaches, where consistent hardness and abrasion resistance guarantee a long service life.
