1.2344 HOT WORK STEEL

Chemiscal composition

    Heat treatment process:

Forge: at 900℃-1100℃ Cool slowly and anneal immediately 

Annealing: at 850℃-870℃ Cool slowly in furnace

Stress Relieving: at to 600℃-650℃ Cool in still air

Hardening: Preheat at 650℃-850℃ raise to 1020℃-1050℃ Cool in air, oil or into salt bath held at 500℃-550℃ and then air cool

  The specialty of the steel:

DIN 1.2344 steel is pressure-resistant hot work die steel. This steel has been remelted by electroslag and has uniform material and good hardenability. 1.2344 steel has excellent machining performance and polishing performance, high toughness and plasticity, good high and low temperature wear resistance, high temperature fatigue resistance and heat resistance.

  Main uses:

Main applications: die-casting dies, extrusion dies, hot pressing dies and components such as cold shear, flash, hot shear, wear-resistant parts.
