Properties:
1.High Wear Resistance: 1.2436 steel exhibits excellent wear resistance due to its high chromium content, making it suitable for applications involving abrasive wear and heavy loads.
2.Good Toughness: Despite its high hardness, 1.2436 steel retains good toughness, reducing the risk of fracture or failure during use.
3.High Hardness: Through proper heat treatment, 1.2436 steel achieves high levels of hardness, ensuring long-lasting cutting performance and dimensional stability.
4.Excellent Edge Retention: The alloy composition of 1.2436 steel enables it to maintain a sharp cutting edge even under demanding cutting conditions, resulting in improved productivity and tool life.

Applications:
1.Cutting Tools: 1.2436 steel is commonly used for manufacturing cutting tools such as knives, blades, and shear blades used in cutting and shaping various materials, including metals, plastics, and rubber.
2.Punching Tools: It finds application in the production of punching tools used for perforating or stamping sheet metal, plastics, and other materials.
3.Blanking and Forming Dies: Due to its high wear resistance and toughness, 1.2436 steel is employed in the manufacturing of blanking and forming dies used in cold forming processes.
4.Cold Work Applications: It is utilized in various cold work applications requiring high hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability, such as cold forging, cold drawing, and cold rolling.

Heat Treatment:
Annealing: Heat uniformly at 820-850°C (1508-1562°F), hold for sufficient time, then slowly cool in the furnace to below 600°C (1112°F) for complete annealing.
Quenching: Preheat slowly to the austenitizing temperature of 980-1010°C (1796-1850°F), then quench rapidly in oil or air to achieve full hardness.
Tempering: Immediately after quenching, temper at 180-220°C (356-428°F) for 2 hours, followed by air cooling to obtain the desired combination of hardness and toughness.
