Cold Work Steel
HCHCR-D2/DIN 1.2379/AISI D2/Cr12Mo1V1
HCHCR D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold work steel designed for high wear resistance. It offers high hardness and excellent abrasion resistance for long tool life. The grade provides good dimensional stability for precision tooling accuracy. High compressive strength helps resist deformation under heavy loads. Used in blanking, punching, and cutting tools requiring durability.
Key Features
- High wear resistance for long tool life
- High hardness and strong edge retention
- Good dimensional stability in service
- High compressive strength
- Reliable performance in cold work tooling
