S7 tool steel properties such as chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties are summarized below. They are moderately resistant to decarburization and grain growth. Due to these properties, S7 material is popular in shock-resistant applications. AISI S7 tool steel is a Shock-Resisting Steel with the highest hardenability and elevated temperature softening resistance of the S-series steels.
