ESR 1.2379 Round Bar Tool Steel Year-end Summary

ESR 1.2379 Round Bar Tool Steel Year-end Summary . Time flies , today is 30th De. 2019 , in the end of 2019 , Otai Special Steel want to make a Year-end summary for this Alloyed cold working tool steel , 1.2379 Tool Steel with high carbide formers content. It is characterized by high resistance to abrasive wear, greater ductility, extremely low tendency to deformation and hardening cracks, very high hardenability, as well as significant dimensional stability during hardening. In addition, it shows the durability of the blade, even as a result of overheating of the tool during intensive use, thanks to its high chromium content, which contributes to the reduction of thermal conductivity. Another result of the high chromium content is corrosion resistance in air and fresh water.

ESR 1.2379 Round Bar Tool Steel is ideally suited for the manufacture of tools that require high abrasion resistance and shape stability during hardening. It is used for making punches, cutters, draughts, reamers, anvils for forging scythes, tools for cutting horns, marble, milling cutters, retractors, rollers, jaws for cold rolling of threads, knives for the production of nails, cutting boards for blanking dies of various shapes, tools for cutting paper and plastics, cold working dies, deburring machines, drawing dies, and gauges. Welding is hard and should be considered only as a mean to repair a damaged tool .

ESR 1.2379 Round Bar Tool Steel is similar to American standards ASTM D2 and Japanese standards JIS SKD11 and Chinese standards GB Cr12MoV .

ESR 1.2379 Round Bar Tool Steel and flat sections can be cut to your required sizes. D2 tool steel ground steel bar can also be supplied, providing a high quality tool steel precision ground tool steel bar to your required tolerances. D2 Tool Steel is also available as Ground Flat Stock / Gauge Plate, in standard and nonstandard sizes.
