0.35-0.40	0.30-0.50	0.30-0.50	4.70-5.20	2.70-3.30	0.40-0.70	≤0.030	≤0.020

Properties:
1.High Toughness: 1.2367 steel exhibits outstanding toughness, making it suitable for applications requiring resistance to mechanical shock and impact loading. This property ensures longer tool life and reduced risk of premature failure.
2.Good Wear Resistance: The alloy composition of 1.2367 steel provides it with good wear resistance, allowing it to maintain its cutting edge and dimensional stability even under abrasive conditions.
3.Excellent Thermal Conductivity: With its high thermal conductivity, 1.2367 steel efficiently dissipates heat during operation, minimizing thermal stress and preventing premature tool failure.
4.High Hardenability: Through proper heat treatment, 1.2367 steel achieves uniform hardness throughout its cross-section, ensuring consistent performance and durability in demanding applications.

Applications:
1.Forging Dies: 1.2367 steel is commonly used for manufacturing forging dies used in hot forging processes. Its combination of toughness and wear resistance makes it ideal for shaping and forming various metals at elevated temperatures.
2.Hot Extrusion Tools: It finds application in the production of hot extrusion tools utilized for shaping and forming metals, plastics, and other materials under high temperatures and pressures.
3.Die-Casting Molds: Due to its excellent thermal stability and wear resistance, 1.2367 steel is employed in the manufacturing of die-casting molds for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and zinc alloys.
4.Hot Shear Blades: It is utilized for producing hot shear blades used in the cutting and trimming of hot-formed materials, including steel bars, billets, and sections.

Heat Treatment:
Annealing: Heat uniformly at 840-880°C (1544-1616°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 1010-1050°C (1850-1922°F), then quench rapidly in oil or air to achieve full hardness.
Tempering: Immediately after quenching, temper at 560-600°C (1040-1112°F) for 2-3 hours, followed by air cooling to obtain the desired combination of hardness and toughness.
