Improved Heat-Crack Resistance
Built on 1.2344 (H13) technology, 1.2714 offers enhanced resistance to heat checking and thermal fatigue during prolonged die-casting cycles
Superior Toughness & Crack Resistance
With optimized Cr–Ni–Mo–V alloying, this steel delivers high impact toughness and low risk of cracking under extreme thermal stress
High Hardenability via Air Cooling
The high chromium and nickel content enables full through‑hardening to a martensitic structure even with air quenching, ideal for large, complex molds
Excellent Wear & Fatigue Resistance
Alloying elements ensure long-term resistance to abrasion and cyclic loading in high-temperature hot-work tooling
Minimal Distortion & Precision Stability
Low tempering-softening tendency and balanced alloy design help maintain dimensional accuracy and prolong mold life in precision applications
Long-life Die-Casting Molds
Ideal for high‑performance die-casting molds in aluminum and zinc, delivering precision and extended service life under thermal cycling
Extrusion Molds & Press Tools
Suited for extrusion dies, ram dies, and press tools used in non-ferrous metal forming, offering excellent wear and fatigue resistance
Forging Dies & Hot Shear Tools
Commonly used for forging dies, hot shear knives and punching tools in heavy-duty steel processing applications
Precision Plastic or Thermoplastic Molding
Suitable for injection or compression mold cores and cavities, delivering superior polishability and toughness for plastics like ABS and LFT
