Key Features - The material has toughness.
- This is because it has a nickel content which helps it to withstand sudden impacts.
- The material also has excellent wear resistance.
- Chromium and Vanadium are used to improve the materials ability to resist wear and tear which helps to extend the life of tools made from this material.
- This material has hardenability.
- It can be made hard even in large blocks and this hardness is uniform throughout the material.
- The material is very strong.
- It can withstand a lot of use without losing its strength even when it is used repeatedly.
- This material is also easy to work with.
- It can be easily machined when it is in its state before it is heat treated.
- The material can be made smooth.
- This makes it a good choice for making precision tools and dies.
- This material is also resistant to cracking.
- It is less likely to crack than types of alloy steels which makes it a good choice, for applications where this is a concern.
