Characteristics: High hardness: X250Cr12KU mold steel has high hardness, and after appropriate heat treatment, excellent cutting performance and wear resistance can be obtained.

Good hardenability: This mold steel has good hardenability, that is, it can obtain a uniform hardness distribution under appropriate quenching process conditions.

High wear resistance: X250Cr12KU mold steel has excellent wear resistance, can resist friction and wear, and improve the service life of the mold.

Moderate toughness: This type of mold steel has moderate toughness and can withstand certain impact and extrusion forces under working load. Application:

Due to the characteristics of X250Cr12KU mold steel, it is suitable for the following fields and applications:

Cold work molds: such as punches, cold cutting scissors, drill sleeves, etc., suitable for larger Cold work dies with high wear resistance are required under small impact loads.

Cutting tools: such as blades, rotary tools, etc., which can be used for general cutting and machining operations.

Component parts: such as mold parts and tooling fixtures, suitable for mold manufacturing that require high hardness and wear resistance.
