What is 1. 2379 steel?

The material 1.2379 is a ledeburitic cold work tool steel with high wear resistance and good cutting strength. A high resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear and high pressure resistance are given. Due to the good mechanical properties, this steel can be used in many different applications.

What is AISI 01?

AISI 01 general purpose oil-hardening tool steel is a versatile manganese-chromium-tungsten steel suitable for a wide variety of cold-work applications.

What SKD 11?

SKD11 is the tool steel, die steel, and high carbon steel possessing high hardness, strength and wear resistance. Its surface is grinded precisely. It is often used for the stamping dies, plastic molds, and so on.

What is D3 steel?

D3 steel, also know as 1.2080 (Werkstoff), is an air hardening, high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. It displays excellent abrasion/wear resistance and has good dimensional stability and high compressive strength. It is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 58-64 HRC.

What type of steel is 01?

low alloy steel
O1 Tool Steel is an oil-hardening, “non-shrinking” and versatile tool steel that can be hardened to the Rockwell C 65 range from a low austenitizing temperature. O1 Tool Steel is known as a low alloy steel because it contains several additives.

How do you harden O1 steel?

Heat treating O1 tool steel is simple. In short, bring it to critical temperature, quench it in vegetable oil, then temper it in an toaster oven or regular kitchen oven for one hour at 400˚. Hardening steel is the easy part; minimizing warpage is another. The road to success is to evenly heat the metal.

What is difference between SKD11 and D2?

SKD11 is the general name of the Japanese Ministry of Industry. D2 material is the American mold steel grade, and the alloy composition is Cr12Mo1V1. However, the composition of SKD11 alloy produced in China is lower than the D2 material standard. The resistance to high temperature softening is different.

What is SKD61 steel?

SKD61 is the tool steel, mold steel, and middle carbon steel possessing high hardness and wear resistance after heat treatment. It also has the good performance of hardenability and thermal fatigue stability.

What is AISI D3?

AISI D3 alloy steel is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 58-64 HRC. After heat treatment D3 tool steel is hard, durable and dense, and is immune from sinking in use. It offers a measure of corrosion resistance when polished.

What is the difference between D2 and D3 steel?

Type D3 steel is oil-quenched; though small sections can be gas quenched after austenitization using vacuum. As a result, tools made with type D3 steel tend to be brittle during hardening. Type D2 steel is the most commonly used steel among the group D steels.

Is 01 a high carbon steel?

The O1 tool is considered low-end with high carbon and manganese, which makes it great for hardness and wear resistance.
