ES 65 S – 1.2363
Air-hardening cold work steel
Air-hardening special cold work steel, with respect to toughness and wear resistance it is between medium and high alloyed steels; good machinability, high hardenability, low dimensional
changes as a result of heat treatment, good through-hardening properties and excellent compressive strength
Product features
- X 100 CrMoV 5
- As-supplied condition: soft-annealed to max. 241 HB (810 N/mm²)
- General fields of application: cutting and pressing tools, rollers, shearing knives, thread rolling dies, cold stamping tools, calibration and pilger mandrels, moulds for plastic processing, gauges and measuring tools
- If electrical discharge machining takes place after hardening then the material should be tempered three times above 520 °C after quenching.
