Cold Work Tool Steel with High Wear Resistance

2379 DIN X 153 CrMoV 12

Standards Europe : DIN EN ISO 4957; USA : ASTM A 681 / SAE J 438 B

Chemical C Si Mn P S Cr Mo V
Composition in % 0.45 - 1.60 0.30 - 0.50 0.30 - 0.50 < 0.030 < 0.030 11.00 - 13.00 0.70 - 1.00 0.70 - 1.00

Material High wear resistance; Relatively good toughness for a 12%-Cr ledeburitic steel; Resistant to tempering;
Characteristics Good cutting ability

A martensitic microstructure will be obtained in the core of bars up to a diameter 120 mm on hardening. Up
Transformation to a diameter of roughly 350 mm a martensitic / baintic structure will be obtained after hardening treatment,
