Cold Work Tool Steel

(D-2) DIN 1.2379

Steel Properties: 12 % ledeburitic chromium steel. Combines maximum wear resistance, good toughness, outstanding cutting edge retention and tempering resistance. It can be nitrided after special heat treatment.

Applications: Threading rolls and dies, cold extrusion tools, trimming, cutting and stamping tools for sheet thicknesses up to 6 mm, precision cutting tools for sheet thicknesses up to 12 mm, cold pilger mandrels, circular-shear blades, deep-drawing tools, pressure pads and highly wear-resistant plastic moulds.
