Description

Product:1.***0, D3, XW*5, Key words:tool, steel, die steel, alloy tool steel, hotwork steel, coldwork steel, round bar, flat bar, forging steel, mould steel, Typical Analysis: C : 2.***2.*5 Si: 0.***0.*0 Mn: 0.***0.*0 P : Max 0.**0 S : Max 0.**0 Cr: *1.***3.5 Similar Grades: DIN 1.***0, GB/T Cr*2 Avantages: Extremely high wear resistance. Very high compressive strength. Availability: Limited. Application: Used in specialized applications such as draw dies, forming rolls, powder metal tooling and lamination dies. Machinability: Altough readily machinable in the annealed condition D3 has a lower rating than most other tool steels. It is rated at *5% of a 1% carbon tool steel. D3 has a low grindability rating. Annealing: D3 should be surface protected during annealing and slowly heated to ***0° to ***0°F. Hold at temperature for one hour per inch of thickness. Furnace cool to ***0°F, and then cool in still air.
