DIN 95MnWCr5 1.2825 Alloy Cold Work Tool Steel

Grade: 95MnWCr5 1.2825
 
95MnWCr5/1.2825 is a high-performance alloy steel for cold-working tools, renowned for its outstanding wear resistance and high hardness. As a typical tungsten-chromium alloy tool steel, it features a high carbon content of 0.90-1.00%, combined with a composite alloying design of tungsten (0.40-0.70%), chromium (0.40-0.65%), and manganese (1.05-1.35%).

1.2825 steel bar

95MnWCr5 / 1.2825 is a widely used medium-alloy cold work tool steel conforming to the German standard DIN EN ISO 4957. It is renowned for its excellent wear resistance, high toughness, and outstanding compressive strength.

This steel grade contains alloying elements such as manganese, tungsten, and chromium. These components work together to achieve high hardness and sufficient hardenability after heat treatment. The addition of tungsten particularly enhances the steel's red hardness and wear resistance, while chromium improves hardenability and provides increased resistance to tempering. Therefore, 1.2825 steel is particularly suitable for manufacturing cold work dies, stamping tools, and shearing tools that endure certain impact loads.
