Product Details
The kit includes steel specifically designed for punches and dies, featuring a 5% chromium content that enhances the longevity of tools used in long production runs, resulting in up to 50% more pieces per sharpening compared to oil hardening steel. This high wear resistance makes it suitable for stamping silicon, stainless steels, Monel metal, and various abrasive materials. The steel maintains close dimensional accuracy throughout the heat treating process, and its wide 75-degree hardening range offers ease of use. Full-length identification ensures clarity and prevents confusion with other steels. The nominal analysis for AISI A2 includes: Carbon - 1.00%, Chromium - 5.25%, Manganese - 0.60%, Molybdenum - 1.00%, Silicon - 0.40%, and Vanadium - 0.25%. Warranty information is provided according to standard industry terms.
