55NiCrMoV7 | DIN 1.2714 Hot Work Tool Steel

In the DIN 17350 standard,55NiCrMoV7/1.2714 steel  is classified as hot working die steel.

55NiCrMoV7/1.2714 is similar to the American grade L6.Both of them have extreme toughness and good through hardening properties with very little size change after heat treatment.

They are used in the quenched and tempered conditon with high hardness 380-420HBW.

55NiCrMoV7/1.2714 is used  for making forging dies,hot shear knives,punches,backing plate,die holders,hot punching tools.
