DIN 1.2379/X155CrVMo12-1 steel is defined as high carbon and high chromium tool steel as per DIN 17350 standard.

As the representative steel of cold working die steel,DIN 1.2379 steel has high hardness,good wear resistance,dimensional stability,toughness and hardenability after heat treatment.

Din 1.2379 steel is suitable for making cold working dies with high precision, long life and high wear resistance, such as precision stamping dies, cold extrusion forming dies, deep drawing dies, blanking dies, embossing dies and cold forging dies.
