• The 5% chromium content makes this steel especially desirable for punches and dies to be used in long production runs since it gives the tools far longer life• High wear resistance is also ideal for punches and dies to stamp silicon, stainless steels, monel metal and other types of abrasive material• Maintains close dimensional accuracy throughout the heat treating process, the wide 75 deg hardening range make this virtually foolproof• Full length identification eliminates confusion with other steels• Up to 50% more pieces per sharpening can be produced than with oil hardening steel
