    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.
