Cold Work Tool Steel

This alloy is one of the Cold Work, high carbon, high chromium type tool steels. D2 is a deep hardening, highly wear resistant alloy. It hardens upon air cooling so as to have minimum distortion after heat treatment.

Ledeburitic Cr-steel for high performance cutting tools, toughness better than D3, possibility of nitriding. This alloy possesses a very high compressive strength and is deep hardening.

D3 is an oil hardening, high carbon/chromium type tool steel with very high wear resistance. It hardens with a very slight change in size. The alloy possesses very high compressive strength and is deep hardening.

Ledeburitic chromium steel with high durability and cutting performance; low distortion on hardening.

High carbon and high chromium air hardening tool steel, extremely resistant to wear, strong toughness, high compressive strength. Its material uniformity, small grain.

This alloy is one of the cold work, oil hardening type tool steels. It is relatively inexpensive containing small amounts of manganese, tungsten and chromium. Hardening by oil quench minimizes distortion and cracking.

Oil quenched tool steel, not easy to crack, heat treatment is not easy to deformation. Wear resistance, strong hardness, easy machining, simple heat treatment, excellent cutting performance.

This alloy is one of the cold work, medium air hardening type tool steels. It contains chromium and molybdenum with a relatively high (1 %) carbon content and is capable of deep hardening from air quench so as to minimize distortion.

Good toughness, wear resistance, good stability.
