Material Description

1.2379 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work tool steel with very high abrasive wear resistance and high compressive strength. At 60 HRC it is a very hard, low-ductility material typically used for punches, blanking and forming dies, shear blades, thread-rolling tools and wear-resistant components. Its large carbide fraction provides excellent wear resistance but makes hardened material demanding to machine.
