COLD WORK TOOL STEEL

DIN 1.2379 Steel (X153CrMoV12 Material) is a high carbon chromium molybdenum vanadium cold worked tool steel with high wear resistance, good dimensional stability, toughness and hardenability.

D2 tool steel is a high carbon and high chromium-based grade that features excellent machinability and wear-resistance. This grade has maximum toughness at high hardness in sections of all sizes. In addition, D2 features a high level of resistance to abrasion due to a profusion of extremely hard wear-resisting alloy carbide particles that make up the steel.

Highly stressed cutting and punching tools for thin sheets, profile rolls, drawing and deep drawing tools,

stone processing tools, knives for paper and plastics, shear knives for thin sheets.

DC-53 is a general purpose, cold work die and mold steel that also provides excellent strength and toughness that approaches those of high-speed steels. DC53, is an improvement over alloy tool steel D-2. It eliminates the disadvantages of insufficient hardness and toughness that are a result of high-temperature tempering found with D-2. DC-53 is typically chosen as a replacement for D-2 in use for general purpose and precision dies. DC-53 is noted for causing less tool wear and machining times that are faster than D2 Tool Steel.

Ledeburitic 12% chrome steel, excellent wear resistance due to the high volume of hard carbides in the steel matrix, high surface hardness after heat treatment, medium toughness, dimensionally stable, high compressive strength, not secondary hardenable. Similar to AISI D6

1.2379 is a tool steel with a carbon content of 1.5%, a chromium content of 11.5%, and a hardness of up to 60HRC after heat treatment. It is a kind of semi-stainless steel. D2 steel has good wear resistance and moderate toughness. The disadvantage is that the corrosion resistance is slightly insufficient. It is a kind of steel that is more suitable for practical use. Bob Dozier likes to use D-2. D2 steel is highly wear-resistant, slightly deformed cold work die steel, wind-hardened tool steel. D2 steel can be used to manufacture cold work die steels with large cross-sections, complex shapes, high impact resistance, and high wear resistance, such as silicon steel sheet die, cold cutting scissors, trimming die, etc.

Cold work die steel, the hardenability of steel, the hardness of quenching and tempering, wear resistance and strength are all higher than that of D3. Various cold-punching dies and tools with complex shapes and heavy working conditions, such as punching dies, trimming dies, hemming dies, steel deep drawing dies, circular saws, standard tools and gauges, thread rolling dies, etc.
