Technical properties
Unalloyed tool steel with excellent machining properties for unhardened parts e.g. fixture construction, due to its carbon proportion (0.45%) it can be hardened, but has a low depth of hardening. Shallow depth case-hardening steel with a hard surface and a tough core.
Applications
mechanical engineering, construction materials, jigs, base plates, molding frames, small dies, hand tools, simple knives, sledges, pliers, forks, hatchets, axes, shears, screwdrivers, chisels
