Mold Steel Hot Work Die Steel 5CrMnMo

Mold Steel 5CrMnMo is developed on the basis of medium carbon steel by adding three elements of Cr, Mn, Mo. The steel is a hot work die steel with slightly poor hardenability and thermal fatigue resistance. Steel is suitable for various types of forging dies with high strength and high wear resistance.When higher toughness is required, electro slag remelting steel can be used.
