It has excellent surface hardenability. It is mostly preferred in automotive molds.
It is used in cutting and mechanical machining, deep drawing, drilling, rolling, production of cutting blades, more complex tools for cold work.
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.
