TOOL STEEL

high-performance cavity plates and inserts for the processing of plastics with high surface requirements (mirror finish); stamping, forming and bending dies for particularly high pressure and bending stresses

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

DIN 1.2083 is typical Stainless Chrome Plastic Mold Steel. German die steel 1.2083 is a chromium content up to 13% of the plastic die steel. 1.2083 mold steel has good polishing and excellent wear resistance, is often used to prevent acid plastic mold.

H-11 hot work tool steel is recommended for hot tooling applications where maximum resistance to cracking is required. Such applications include hot punches, die casting dies, forging dies, hot shear blades, hot gripper dies, and extrusion tooling.

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.

1.2344 has good comprehensive performance at medium temperature (~600°), high hardenability (that can be hardened in the air), low heat treatment deformation rate, and its performance and service life are higher than 1.2581
1.2344can be used for forging hammer forging dies, aluminum alloy die-casting dies, hot extrusion dies, high-speed precision forging dies and forging press dies, etc.

DIN 1.2367 ESR is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloyed hot work tool steel with high
thermal fatigue resistance. It has been refined via ESR process to ensure highest quality standards in terms of grain
size, segregation, micro-cleanliness, and purity. EN DIN 1.2367 features high isotropy, reason for which transversal
resilience is often three times higher when compared to conventional EN DIN 1.2367. Furthermore, the thermal
fatigue resistance is also often much higher than that of conventional hot work tool steel EN DIN 1.2343, enabling
longer die lifetime.

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.
