    Technical properties

    Very robust cold work steel which can be used for a wide range of applications. Has good through-hardenability and high toughness (reduced occurence of hard carbides with about 8% chromium compared to 12% chromium in AISI D2). High cutting power, high wear resistance as well as excellent tempering resistance.
