High hardenability, hardness and wear resistance, with good high-temperature oxidation resistance. Maintains excellent wear resistance after quenching and polishing, with minimal deformation after heat treatment.
Used for manufacturing high-precision, long-life cold moulds, tools and gauges. Suitable for complex shapes such as punching dies, cold extrusion dies, glass moulds, thread-rolling wheels, stretch plates, cold-cutting tools and precision measuring instruments.
