DIN 1.2601 (X165CrMoV12) Tool Steel - Ideal for High-Stress Cold Work Tools
DIN 1.2601 steel, also known as X165CrMoV12, is a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy tool steel defined under the DIN 17350 standard. Renowned for its excellent wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and impact resistance, it also offers strong strength and toughness. This steel is primarily delivered in an annealed condition, making it ideal for demanding cold work applications.

Applications of DIN 1.2601 Steel
DIN 1.2601 steel is widely used in high-performance cold work tools due to its dimensional stability and resistance to wear. It is often compared to DIN 1.2379 steel and is used for a variety of applications, including:
High-performance cutting tools
Fracture-sensitive cutting dies
Metal saws and press trimmers
Bending dies and guillotine blades (for sheet thickness up to 6 mm)
Cold shearing blades
Flash trimming dies
Thread rolling tools
Highly stressed woodworking tools
Hobbing tools and extruding tools
DIN 1.2601 steel is particularly valued for its ability to withstand high stress and provide consistent performance in precision manufacturing and machining environments.
