105WCr6
105WCr6 is a material in the category Tool steels for cold work, held under material number 1.2419. We list 32 designations recorded for this grade, in the standards DIN / EN, UNS, AISI / SAE, AFNOR, UNE, ISO, JIS, GB, GOST, UNI, SS, PN, SRPS, MSZ, STAS, BDS and KS. Its recorded composition includes C 1–1.1%, Si 0.1–0.4%, Cr 0.9–1.1%, Mn 0.8–1.1% and W 1–1.3%. Recorded mechanical properties include HB 217–255; these figures vary with the delivery condition and dimension. Its recorded density is 7.66–7.85 g/cm³. Further recorded physical values: α 11–14.5 ·10⁻⁶/K and ρ el. 380 nΩ·m; several of these are temperature-dependent. Recorded transformation points: Ac1 750 °C, Ac3 940 °C and Ar1 710 °C. It is recorded as not intended for welding.
About Tool steels for cold work
Cold-work tool steels are high-strength tool materials designed for shaping, cutting and forming operations carried out without significant heating of the workpiece. They are characterised by high hardness, wear resistance and the ability to retain a sharp or precise working edge, making them suitable for dies, punches, cutting tools and other tooling exposed to repeated mechanical contact.
This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

Chemical composition
7 elements on file · weight %What this alloy is
Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade.

The scale is logarithmic, not the element’s raw share of the alloy — the only honest way to fit 0.01 % and 100 % in one picture, and it means every value here can be compared with every other.

Predicted transformation temperatures
Not enough recorded composition to predict a transformation temperature for this grade — missing: Ni, Mo.
Physical & mechanical properties
An absent property means we hold no value for it — it is left out rather than estimated, interpolated from a neighbouring grade, or filled from a handbook. It does not mean the property is undefined for the material.

Every figure holds only for the condition on its own row. Values are never merged across conditions or across sources, never averaged, and never interpolated between two rows. An em dash means no value on file — never zero. Figures are converted to the unit in the column header; the source’s own wording is kept and shown where the two differ.

Similar grades — and why
Selection rule, stated so you can disagree with it: same number class 1.2, a shared category, and a published range for W / Cr that overlaps this grade’s. These are neighbours in composition space — they are not equivalents, and none is claimed to be interchangeable with this grade.
