COLD WORK STEELS (DIN 2379, 2080)

Cold work tool steels are high carbon steels containing smaller amounts of manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, and chromium. They have good dimensional stability and hardenability. They are further classified into three subgroups:

DIN 1.2379

DIN 1.2379 is Consolidates maximum wear resistance, great durability, exceptional front-line maintenance and treating resistance 12% ledeburitic chromium steel.

DIN 1.2080

DIN 1.2080 is having 12% ledeburitic chromium tool steel with great wears resistance. It is basically utilized as cutting tools for sheets up to 4 mm thickness, trimming dies, blanking dies for paper and plastics, shear cutting edges and rotational shear edges for sheet thicknesses up to 2 mm.

Application:

Stamping dies, Sheet metal components, rolls for cold rolling mills, drawing tools, Punches tools, cutting tools, Pressing tools, Shear blades.
