Grade: DIN 1.2714
Equivalent Steel: ISO 55NiCrMoV7, ASTM L6, GB 5CrNiMo
The exceptional high-temperature performance and durability of 1.2714 hot work tool steel are directly attributable to its precisely balanced chemical composition. This chromium-nickel-molybdenum-vanadium alloy features a carbon content of 0.50-0.60%, which provides the necessary core hardness and strength for demanding applications. Its substantial nickel content (1.50-1.80%) is key to imparting superior toughness and impact resistance, enabling it to withstand the severe mechanical shocks of heavy forging. The inclusion of chromium (1.0-1.2%) enhances hardenability, while a synergistic combination of molybdenum (0.45-0.55%) and vanadium (0.07-0.12%) forms stable carbides.
