56NiCrMoV7 (DIN 1.2714) is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy tool steel renowned for its exceptional combination of high toughness, wear resistance, and thermal stability. It achieves a hardness range of 52-58 HRC after oil quenching and tempering, with minimal distortion during heat treatment. The material’s homogeneous microstructure and fine grain structure ensure reliability in demanding hot and cold work applications, including die-casting molds, forging dies, high-stress punching tools, and precision mold components. Available in plates, bars, and blocks, with support for custom heat treatment and machining services.

Характеристики
1.Optimized Strength-Toughness Balance

Achieves synergistic enhancement of high strength and toughness through strategic nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium alloying.
2.Exceptional Heat Treatment Stability

Oil/gas quenching (830-880°C) with wide tempering range (500-650°C) enables hardness up to 52-58 HRC with minimal distortion.
3.Superior Wear Resistance & Red Hardness

Uniformly distributed chromium/molybdenum/vanadium carbides provide exceptional abrasion resistance and sustained hardness at elevated temperatures (≤600°C).
4.High Impact Toughness

Nickel addition significantly improves resistance to cyclic impact loads, ideal for high-stress punching and cold heading dies.
5.Excellent Machinability & Polishability

Offers good machinability in annealed condition and achieves mirror-quality surface finish after hardening, suitable for precision plastic molds.
