## About Tool steels for hot work

Tool steels for hot work are alloy steels designed for tooling that operates in contact with heated metal. They are characterised by hot hardness, wear resistance, toughness and resistance to thermal fatigue, making them suitable for dies, moulds, punches and other forging, extrusion and die-casting tools.

This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

This grade’s own name recorded in our sources as this grade’s own designation under that standard.

Indicative taken from a published cross-reference table; a close match, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify against the mill certificate before ordering.

Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

What this alloy is

Fe Cr Mo Mn

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 93.6 % Cr — 3.3 % Mo — 1.4 % Mn — 0.7 % Traces & impurities · 1.1 %

Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade.

| Element | % by weight |

0.01 % 0.1 % 1 % 10 % 100 %

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.

| Mo | 1,20-1,60 | 1.200 | 1.600 | Range |

The published column is the source string byte-for-byte, decimal comma and all; Min and Max are the parsed bounds. Elements not listed have no value on file — they are omitted, never inferred.

## Predicted transformation temperatures

Not enough recorded composition to predict a transformation temperature for this grade — missing: Ni.

## Physical & mechanical properties

Density 7,86 g/cm³ Exact

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.
