W.NR. 1.2714

Main characteristics and applications

Ni – Cr – Mo die steel characterized by high level hardenability and toughness, good resistance to repeated thermal and good wear resistance.

Main applications:
• hammer and press forging dies.
• rams for power hammers.
• hot mill rolls.
• very hard cold work dies and punches.

It is advisable to use the blocks for dies treated at various hardness limits according to the depth cavity complying with the indications given below.


Cavity depth (mm)HRCR(N/mm2)
2039÷431200/1350
5036÷421100/1320
10032÷38980/1170

Before starting machining, preheat the tools to temperatures between 250 – 300°C.

TemperingIn the range 550 – 600°C for at least 3 h according to hardness requirements and conditions of use. Tempering must be repeated a second time at a temperature equal to or 20°C lower than the previous. Before tempering, the parts must be preheated to 200 – 300°CAirUsual service hardness: 44-52 HRC
