When your operations demand exceptional wear resistance, high compressive strength, and reliable dimensional stability, selecting the right tool steel is critical. For demanding cold work applications, X155CrVMo12-1 (also known as Werkstoff Nr. 1.2379) stands as a premier choice. This high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel is engineered to deliver superior performance where other materials fall short.
At Nifty Alloys, we understand that the integrity of your components begins with the quality of your materials. This comprehensive guide provides the technical information you need to confidently specify X155CrVMo12-1 for your projects. We will cover its chemical composition, mechanical and physical properties, heat treatment processes, and key industrial applications, ensuring you have the data required for successful design and procurement.
X155CrVMo12-1 is a ledeburitic, 12% chromium cold work tool steel known for its excellent toughness and wear resistance. It belongs to the D2 tool steel group under the AISI classification system, though it has distinct compositional nuances that enhance its performance characteristics. The high concentration of chromium and carbon forms hard, wear-resistant carbides within the steel's matrix, making it exceptionally durable for high-stress tooling applications.
The addition of molybdenum and vanadium further refines the steel's properties. Molybdenum improves hardenability and strength at elevated temperatures, while vanadium helps form very hard carbides that significantly increase wear resistance. This balanced chemical composition results in a material that offers a superior combination of hardness, toughness, and dimensional stability after heat treatment.
For procurement managers and engineers in the UAE and surrounding regions, sourcing certified X155CrVMo12-1 ensures that your tools and dies meet rigorous performance standards. Every batch we supply is backed by mill test certificates (MTRs), confirming its compliance with international standards and providing you with complete material traceability.
