It has high temperature strength and toughness.
It is used as a barrel in the injection, forging, piston and runner of copper and alloys, and in the pressing of extrusion.
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.
It is tool steel alloyed with chromium and molybdenum at high tempering temperature.
It is used in metal injection molds of light metals. There is no risk of heat treatment deformation due to hardening with special aging.
It shows excellent properties in maintaining its hardness. At the same time, it has good wear resistance at high temperatures.
