Product Description

AISI D6/DIN 1.2436/X210CrW12 cold work tool steel
D6 tool steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold work tool steel known for its excellent wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability. It is widely used in various cold work applications, including forming, blanking, and punching dies.

Chemical Composition (Typical):

Element	Composition (%)
Carbon (C)	2.00 - 2.30
Chromium (Cr)	11.50 - 13.00
Manganese (Mn)	0.30 - 0.60
Silicon (Si)	0.10 - 0.60
Vanadium (V)	0.20 - 0.50
Molybdenum (Mo)	0.60 - 1.20

Properties:
1.High Hardness: D6 steel can achieve high hardness levels after heat treatment, making it suitable for applications requiring excellent wear resistance.
2.Good Toughness: Despite its high hardness, D6 steel exhibits good toughness, allowing it to withstand high impact loads without fracturing.
3.Excellent Wear Resistance: The combination of high carbon and chromium content provides D6 steel with exceptional wear resistance, making it suitable for cutting and forming applications.
4.Dimensional Stability: D6 steel maintains dimensional stability even after extensive use, reducing the need for frequent regrinding and maintenance.
5.Good Machinability: D6 steel can be machined easily in the annealed condition, allowing for the production of complex shapes and profiles.

Heat Treatment:
Annealing: Heat uniformly to 800-850°C, then slowly cool in the furnace to below 650°C, followed by air cooling.
Hardening: Preheat to 650-700°C, then raise the temperature to 950-980°C. Quench in oil or air to achieve desired hardness.
Tempering: Temper immediately after quenching. Heat to the desired tempering temperature (150-300°C), depending on the desired hardness and toughness. Hold at temperature for sufficient time, then cool in still air.

Applications:
Cold Work Dies: D6 steel is commonly used for manufacturing cold work dies, including blanking, forming, and punching dies.
Cutting Tools: It is suitable for producing cutting tools such as shear blades, slitters, and guillotine knives.
Stamping and Drawing: D6 steel finds applications in stamping and drawing operations where wear resistance and toughness are crucial.

Surface Treatment:
D6 steel can undergo various surface treatments, including nitriding, coating, and polishing, to enhance its performance and prolong tool life.

Quality Assurance:
Our D6 tool steel undergoes strict quality control measures at every stage of production to ensure consistent mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy.

Environmental Considerations:
D6 steel is recyclable and can be reused in various applications, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Conclusion:
D6 tool steel is a versatile material known for its high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and good toughness. It is widely used in the manufacturing of cold work dies and cutting tools for various industrial applications.
