Product Introduction

Cr12 Alloy Tool Steel Bar is a high-carbon chromium cold work tool steel designed for tooling applications requiring high hardness and excellent wear resistance. It provides high hardness, good hardenability, excellent wear resistance, and dimensional stability after appropriate heat treatment. The large-diameter form is suitable for heavy-duty dies, punches, cutting tools, forming tools, and large tooling components requiring substantial material sections. Cr12 bars can be supplied in different diameters, lengths, surface conditions, and heat treatment conditions according to application requirements. Large diameters, customized dimensions, heat treatment, hardness, machining, and testing are available according to customer specifications.
