Sabra Metals, located in Amman, Jordan, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Tool and Die Steel S1 bars, specifically crafted for tough industrial applications. The company prides itself on its dedication to precision, durability, and consistent performance, providing S1 steel bars that are engineered to handle heavy impacts, intermittent loads, and challenging work environments. With a strong focus on quality control, advanced processing techniques, and dependable delivery, Sabra Metals is a trusted partner for toolmakers, fabricators, and manufacturers in search of robust and long-lasting steel solutions for shock-resistant tooling.
Tool and Die Steel S1 bars feature medium carbon content along with silicon, manganese, and trace amounts of chromium, which together give the alloy remarkable toughness and shock resistance. This unique composition enables S1 steel to withstand repeated impacts without chipping or cracking. After undergoing heat treatment, S1 typically achieves a moderate level of hardness while still maintaining its ductility and strength, making it ideal for both cold-work and impact-heavy applications. Its perfect blend of hardness, toughness, and resistance to deformation ensures reliable, long-term performance in demanding tool and die settings.

When choosing Tool and Die Steel S1 bars, consider hardness, wear resistance, toughness, machinability, heat treatment capabilities, and the specific requirements of the application to ensure optimal performance and durability.
Tool and Die Steel S1 bars resist corrosion due to their alloy composition, which includes elements like chromium and molybdenum. These elements form a protective oxide layer, enhancing resistance to oxidation and rust.
These S1 bars are commonly utilized in situations where tools face frequent shocks, impacts, or sudden forces. They’re often found in the manufacturing of chisels, hammers, punches, shear blades, rivet sets, and other impact-resistant tools. Additionally, S1 steel is well-suited for cold-heading dies, forming tools, and cutting instruments that prioritize high toughness over extreme wear resistance. Its ability to maintain stability under repeated stress makes it invaluable in construction, metalworking, and general engineering sectors, where reliability, durability, and resistance to cracking are crucial for consistent operational performance.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
