    Default O-1 steel in Europe?

    O1 is the American name:

    Aisi name (American) O1, the O stands for Oil hardened so quench in oil.
    Din name (German) 100MnCrW4
    EN name (European) 1.2510
    BS name (British) BO1

    If I can find it in my small country (and I can) you can find it all over the world.

    I get it directly from Uddeholm, Sweden. They make very good steel, and their prices are reasonable, wish they would carry O-1 in cold rolled also, or precision ground.
