It has high shock and crack resistance at high temperatures.

It is a hot work steel with much better toughness than 1.2344.

It has good resistance to thermal fatigue, erosion and abrasion. It has high toughness and good ductility. It is also good that it can be hardened. It is the most widely used steel in the hot work steels group.

Its hardenability is very good.

It is a semi-alloy tool steel with high wear resistance and toughness.

It is tool steel alloyed with chromium and molybdenum at high tempering temperature.

It is an air-hardenable tool steel with very high machinability.

It has high temperature strength and toughness.

It is a tool steel with quenchable, high strength and wear resistance.

It is used in metal injection molds of light metals. There is no risk of heat treatment deformation due to hardening with special aging.

Ideal for forging molds. It can be delivered at 40 - 44 HRC.

Its thermal conductivity is very high.

It shows excellent properties in maintaining its hardness. At the same time, it has good wear resistance at high temperatures.
