2842 Cold Work Die Steel Features: 

 German cold die steel, this easy-forged steel, annealing, cutting, toughness, hardenability is low, with a strong inhibition of heat sensitivity, and tendency of carbide precipitation network, has been widely used in China. This compared to steel and carbon tool steel with high hardness and wear resistance, deformation hardening at smaller, with good punching ability, required hardness 63HRC 

 Supplier status and hardness 220 ~ 230HBS 

 Before forging temperature thermal processing specification 050, 850 final forging temperature, cooling with furnace 

 Ordinary quenching and tempering temperature of 780 ~ 810 specification, oil cooling, tempering temperature of 160 or 190 ~ 230 ~ 180 

 Uses: 

 6MM for less than the thickness of the stamping dies, cutter knives, etc. 

 Thread cutting tools, measuring tools, etc. 

 The steel used for plastic molds, used to heat treatment, the use of hardness 58-60HRC
