Cold Working Steel 1.2379

APPLICATIONS: Ledeburitic cold working steel with high wear resistance and good edge retention, high resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear, high compressive strength. bending tools, plastic molds during the processing abrasive polymers, machine knives, cold shear blades, cold extrusion tools, thread rolling dies, thread rolling, deep drawing tools, cutting and punching tools, milling cutters Characteristics: annealed max. 255 HB Weldability: bad Machinability: 2 (1 = very bad - 10 = good) Polishability: yes Corrosion class: 1 (0 = weak - 5 = good) Chemical composition: 1.2379 C Si Mn P S Cr Mo V min. 1.45 0.10 0.20 11.00 0.70 0.70 max. 1.60 0.60 0.60 0.03 0.03 13.00 1.00 1.00 Production: Round and Flat Size according to customer's requirement Benefit of sawn cuts: The processing with the saw is a mechanical processing of the material, which results in a significantly lower unintended deformation and increased hardness for the existing structure, such as the thermal cutting. Thus, the machined workpiece has a homogeneous structure even at the edge, which does not change in the continuation of the material. This circumstance allows immediate finishing of the workpiece with milling or drilling . So it is not necessary to anneal the material or make a similar operation beforehand.
