DIN EN 1.2842 Steel 90MnCrV8 Material Equivalent, Datasheet, Properties, Composition
DIN EN 1.2842 Steel 90MnCrV8 Material
DIN EN 1.2842 steel (90MnCrV8) is a European standard cold work tool steel and one of the most widely used tool steels, with high dimensional stability and edge retention and good machinability. Its properties and applications are basically the same as the material 1.2510 (100MnCrW4). In terms of its performance, DIN 1.2842 tool steel is comparable to the material 1.2510. Steel 1.2510 contains tungsten (W) element, which makes it have higher wear resistance and tempering resistance. DIN 1.2842 steel is suitable for cutting and punching tools, little shear blades, thread cutting rings and jaws, reamers, measuring tools, plastic and rubber molds.
