Material Notes:
A cold working, high output tool steel highly resistant to wear. Advantages:Due to high carbon and chrome content is a must on high production runs.Deep hardening steel with the absolute minimum of distortion.Excellent machinability and high compressive strength.Can be tempered to approximate hardness of 61-63 Rc.Applications: Blanking dies, extrusion dies, stamping dies, coining dies, knurling dies, swaging dies, crimping dies, lamination dies, threading dies, drawing dies, slitting dies, trimming dies, broaches, hobs, punches, bushing, reamers, forming rolls, seaming rolls, gauges and taps.Information from Wingate Alloys Inc.
