tool steel

A German customer sent an Inquiry of 1.2714 tooling steel to us ,the list as follow :

  • W.1.2714 hot rolled, +QT to max 380 HB, bar end sawn cut, 2 sides as rolled.
  • Thickness:20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-100-110-120
  • Width: 800 -1150mm
  • Length: 3000-4000 mm
  • Each thickness 2 tons

We did not win the offer because size and MOQ unworkable .

For the 1.2714 tooling steel material, there is rare stock of hot rolled ,thickness 50-120mm in the inventory market .

If arrange  hot rolled new production ,MOQ : 100 tons each size ,an order MOQ 300 tons which suitable .Customer t can not meet the MOQ .

For forged new production , There is only  the state mill such as Baosteel / Dongbei steel ‘s machine can produce   Max width 810mm

  • MOQ : 20 tons each size
  • Price higher 40%than market price
  • Leadtime will follow their production line’s schedule (more than 3 months )

It is also impossible for the 1.2714 RFQ .

If we arrange the order to Small and medium forged house, their forging equipment only support to producing width Max 610mm .Their Forged hammer like the photo,it  can not forged the width 800mm by one time ,It need to forged it again and again, the edge will warped up,but not smoothly.especially for the thin thickness 20-40mm ,it is too thin to arrange forged .

Forged steel

 

We suggest customer  change the width  810mm as 610mm , he think it is unworkable for them ,and they ordered 1.2714 tooling steel from local market again finally .
