It has good medium deep hardening and toughness.
It is used for cutting tools of plastics and colored metals operating at low speed, profile and milling cutters, wood cutting tools and circular cutting knives
It is the oldest cold tool steel that can be hardened without loss of size. It has high pressure and abrasion resistance.
It is the most widely used steel of the cold work group, which stands out with its high wear resistance.
It has excellent surface hardenability. It is mostly preferred in automotive molds.
It is a suitable material for patterning with very good polishability and hardenability.
During heat treatment, there is very little change in size, it has high toughness.
