Applications
- Hot forging dies.
- Punches.
- Scrap cutting blades.
- Chisels and hammers.
- Forming dies.
- Forming rollers.
Characteristics:
- Tool-grade steel for oil quenching, commonly used for cold work tools, as well as for machinery parts requiring high hardness and high toughness. Its nickel content provides greater toughness compared to other oil-quenching steels.
- Suitable for plastic injection, easy to weld, used in the refractory industry, cutting dies, cutting discs, forming dies, wood cutting saws, punches, etc.
