X210Cr12 / 1.2080 Steel
X210Cr12 / 1.2080 steel suppliers delivering throughout the Middle East. Nifty Alloys LLC supply in flats and a limited range in round bar. This specification is noted for its resistance to abrasion. It offers excellent dimensional stability in hardening. When heat treated this steel is hard, durable and dense and offers a measure of corrosion resistance when polished. X210Cr12 is suited for applications requiring high wear resistance.

Ground Flat Stock
Precision ground flat stock / gauge plate can be produced using X210Cr12 steel. Subject to size suitability and availability pieces can be produced in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Standard and non-standard sizes can be produced.
Forging
Pre-heat the X210Cr12 at 900°-950°C then raise temperature to 1050°-1100°C. Soak the steel until uniformly heated. This tool steel is relatively hard at elevated temperature. Therefore, initial hammer blows must be light and the temperature must not fall below 1020°C until the metal begins to flow.
Annealing
Supplied in the annealed and machineable condition re-annealing will only be necessary if the steel has been forged or hardened by the toolmaker. To anneal, heat slowly and uniformly to 900°C. Soak for three to four hours and allow to cool in the furnace to room temperature. Re-heat to 800-1040°C and again soak for three to four hours. Allow to cool in the furnace to room temperature.
Stress Relieving
If the tools made from X210Cr12 tool steel are heavily machined, ground or otherwise subjected to cold work, the relief of internal strains is advisable before hardening to minimise the possibility of distortion. Stress relieving should be carried out after rough machining. To stress relieve, heat the component to 600-650°C. Soak well and cool in the furnace or air.
Hardening
Heat the tools in a controlled atmosphere. If this is not possible, pack hardening is recommended. A reducing atmosphere is desirable. Pre heat the tool steel component to 750-800°C. and allow to soak at this temperature. Then heat up to 1000-1040°C for air cooling, or 980°C for oil quenching. Soak thoroughly at the temperature for half an hour per 25mm of ruling section, then cool or quench accordingly.
