Cr12 Alloy Tool Steel

2019-04-09

 
Cr12 die steel is a typical alloy tool steel, and the domestic implementation standard is GB/T 1299-2000. Cr12 die steel is a widely used cold work die steel with high strength, good hardenability and good wear resistance, but poor impact toughness. Cr12 alloy tool steel is mainly used as a cold die and punch, cold cutting scissors, drill sleeve, gauge, drawing die, stamping die, crepe plate, drawing die and thread rolling die which are less impact load and require high wear resistance.

Cr12 Die Steel Chemical Composition:

Carbon C: 2.00~2.30
Silicon Si: ≤ 0.40
Manganese Mn: ≤0.40
Sulfur S :≤0.030
Phosphorus P :≤0.030
Chromium Cr: 11.50~13.00
Nickel Ni: Allowable residual content ≤ 0.25
Copper Cu: Allowable residual content ≤ 0.30
Cobalt Co: ≤ 1.00
Cr12 alloy tool steel is a widely used cold work die steel, which has good hardenability, wear resistance and hot workability. Carbides are well distributed in steel and can be used to manufacture a variety of cold-working molds with complex shapes and heavy working conditions, such as cold die punches, thread rolling die, wire drawing die, material die, metallurgical powder die, woodworking cutting tool, Cold cut scissors, drill sleeves and gauges.
