DIN 1.2714 Hot Work Tool Steel | 56NiCrMoV7 | L6 | SKT4
DIN 1.2714 Steel is defined as Hot work Tool Steel as per DIN 17350 Germany standard( replaced by EN ISO 4957).With Min 1.0%Cr-0.45%Mo-1.5%Ni-0.07%V alloy elements, it have high strength,high hardness and high wear-resistance.
DIN 1.2714 is generally supply in hardened, quenched & tempered condition (Hardness:370-410HBW), and also in annealed condition in special use.Due to its good performace, it is mainly used for forging dies,punches,plastic molds,and die holders etc.
