Hot and Warm Forging Die Steel

High tough matrix type high speed tool steel 

Features

High hardness and high tough Matrix type high speed tool steel vastly surpassing hot work die steels. DRM1 improves hot and warm die life by its higher toughness than conventional grade. 

  1. Applicable with the maximum hardness of 58HRC
  2. High hardness and tough grade with excellent heat checking resistance
  3. Fine microstructure as that of hot work die steels resulting in higher toughness than conventional high speed tool steels 
  4. High softening resistance and hot hardness
  5. Double melting realizes clean and homogeneous steel with less non-metallic inclusions

Applications

  • Hot forging dies and punches
  • Warm forging dies and punches
