6. Mechanical properties:
Ledeburitic 12% chrome steel, very high resistance against abrasive and adhesive wear due to a high volume of hard carbides in the steel matrix, good toughness, very good dimensional stability, high compressive strength, very good base material for PVD/CVD coating as well as nitriding due to its secondary hardening properties. Similar to AISI D2.
7. Available sizes:
Round Bar: Φ 6-410mm
Flat: 8-160*205-710mm
Mould: 200*200-1200*1000mm
