Why 9KHS Tool Steel Performs in Tooling Applications
This chromium silicon tool steel provides enhanced hardness and wear resistance, is designed for stamping, cutting, and forming applications, offers excellent resistance against abrasion and mechanical stress, is ideal for industrial die and mold manufacturing, ensures superior hardness and durability after heat treatment, and is comparable to global tool steel standards for engineering applications.
- Anneal: ~740–760°C; slow cool for ≤241 HB
- Hardening (typical): 800–830°C austenitize; oil/air quench
- Tempering: 150–250°C (choose per hardness vs. toughness target)
- Machining: best in annealed state with rigid setups & coolant
Chromium silicon tool steel provides excellent heat treatment response and structural stability for demanding tooling applications.
