Material Description

Material Number	Material Number (single)	Standard	Range of Application	Standard Status	Country	Predecessor	Application temperature [°C]
1.2550 (DIN EN ISO 4957 : 2018-11)	1.2550	DIN EN ISO 4957 : 2018-11	Supersedes DIN EN ISO 4957 : 2001-02	Valid	Germany	60WCrV8	≤ 200	1)
1) Remark: 60WCrV8 is an oil-hardening tool steel. It achieves at least 58 HRC in hardened condition. The steel is particularly ductile and wear resistant and suitable for very high loadings and shows favorable dimensional and cutting stability. Application: punching dies, highly loaded shear cutter and massive coin dies, paper and wood chopping cutter, cutting and punching tools for sheet thicknesses of approx. 5-10 mm, cold hole punching tools, deburring cuttings as well as for ejectors.
