Cold Work, Medium Air Hardening Tool Steel with Deep Hardening Capabilities

Excellent choice for die shapes, slitters, cutting and stamping tools, injection molds, and similar applications where wear resistance is crucial.

Product advantages

This alloy is a cold work tool steel of the medium air-hardening type. It contains chromium and molybdenum with a relatively high carbon content (1%) and is capable of deep hardening through air quenching, minimizing distortion.
