29CrMoV9

29CrMoV9 is a material in the category Tool steels for cold work, held under material number 1.2307. Its recorded composition includes C 0.26–0.34%, Si 0.15–0.35%, Cr 2.3–2.7%, Mn 0.4–0.7% and Mo 0.15–0.25%. No cross-standard equivalents are recorded for this grade yet. Its recorded density is 7.85 g/cm³.

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.

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.

Physical & mechanical properties

Density7,85g/cm³Exact

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.
