Cold-work die steel combines toughness, wear resistance

摘要

A new shock-resistant cold-work die steel with a combination of toughness and wear resistance may be considered for tooling applications such as coining dies, blanking dies, slitter knives, chipper knives, and rotary shears.Carpenter Micro-Melt CD #1 alloy, developed by Carpenter Technology Corp., is made by the company's patented Micro-Melt powder metallurgy process. The alloy has a refined microstructure with very fine grain size and small, uniformly distributed carbide particles.
