HCHCR D3 Steel

AISI D3 cold work steel, also known as DIN 1.2080 and JIS SKD1, is a 12% chrome alloy steel. D3 cold work steel has very high wear resistance against abrasive and adhesive wear due to the high volume of hard carbides in the steel matrix, medium toughness, dimensionally stable, high compressive strength, not secondary hard enable. Type AISI D3 cold works tool steel is oil-quenched; though small sections can be gas quenched after automatization using vacuum.

AISI D3 Cold Work Steel has highstrength, good hardenability and wear resistance. D3 is suitable for applications such as complex blanking and forming tools for long runs and for hard and abrasive materials.
