DIN 1.2367/X38CrMoV5-3 Hot Work Mold Steel
Description
1.2367 steel, also known as X38CrMoV5-3, is a high-performance hot work tool steel recognized for its exceptional toughness, thermal stability, and resistance to wear and heat checking. It is specifically designed for use in demanding hot work applications such as die casting, hot forging, and extrusion tools. The steel maintains its strength and hardness at elevated temperatures, ensuring long tool life under thermal and mechanical stress. 1.2367 also offers excellent tempering resistance and can achieve a fine balance of hardness and ductility through heat treatment. Its high toughness reduces the risk of cracking, making it ideal for complex, high-pressure tooling environments.
