Steel properties

ALTA 1.2510 steel is an oil hardening tool steel supplied in the annealed condition. It offers good durability, gives excellent abrasive wear resistance which compared than 1.2842 tool steel. With these properties this ALTA 1.2510 tool steel is an excellent general purpose grade often used where the expense of a high carbon high chromium tool steel would not be justified

Applications

² Wear-resistant non-deformable cold mold (such as sheet stamping dies, embossing dies for jewelry)

² All kinds of metal stamping die and forming tools (such as notches cutting die, die sleeve)

² Cutting tools, wood or paper industry working cutting tools/machine knives

² Making of aluminum, zinc and copper alloy extrusion dies, casting dies and hot shearing blades

² Small silver Polish steel (scaled and cold drawn), which is an ideal material for ejection pins and sleeves
