COLD WORK TOOL STEEL / HIGH CARBON HIGH CHROMIUM DIE STEEL : –
Cold-work steels have high chromium contents. They ensure high surface hardness, good toughness and compressive strength, and provide excellent wear resistance. Typical applications include cold-work tools, cutting-off tools, rolls for cold rolling, measuring tools, etc.STEEL GRADED1, D2, 0-1/ Stable-KSizes & Ranges of above HCHCR mentioned grades:-

INTRODUCTION OF HCHCR
This type of steel high dimensional stability with added wear resistance coupled with excellent edge holding qualities. It is an oil hardening, high Carbon/ Chromium type tool steel. It hardens with a very slight change in size. The alloy possesses very high compressive strength and is deep hardening.

Characteristic properties HCHCR GRADES

• High wear resistance
• Stainless steel properties
• Thin manufactured parts
• High abrasive wear applications
• Edge holding properties
• Accurate dimensions
