Description
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.The
application of DIN1.2601 steel is similar to that of DIN 1.2379 steel. it is usually used for
dimensionally stable high performance cutting steel, fracture sensitive cutting dies, metal saws,
press trimmers,bending dies,guillotine blades for a sheet thickness up to 6 mm, cold shearing
blades, flash trimming dies,thread rolling tools, highly stressed woodworking tools, hobbing tools,
extruding tools.
Applications
Cutting tools, stamping, woodworking, drawing, deep drawing and pressing tools, cold working rolls,
measuring tools.
