Product Details
The steel kit includes material with a 5% chromium content, making it particularly desirable for punches and dies used in long production runs due to its durability, providing far longer tool life. It allows for up to 50% more pieces to be produced per sharpening compared to oil hardening steel, highlighting its high wear resistance which is essential for stamping materials like silicon, stainless steels, Monel metal, and other abrasive substances. The material maintains close dimensional accuracy throughout the heat treating process, and its wide 75-degree hardening range ensures reliability. Full-length identification is provided to eliminate any confusion with other steels. The nominal analysis for AISI A2 includes the following specifications: Carbon - 1.00, Chromium - 5.25, Manganese - 0.60, Molybdenum - 1.00, Silicon - 0.40, and Vanadium - 0.25.
