Description
X12 steel is used: for the manufacture of cold stamps high resistance to abrasion (mainly with working part rounded), not exposed to strong shocks and jolts; die plates and dies, eyes for the calibration metal rod under the knurling thread; bending and forming dies, complex dies sections body, which in the hardening should not be subjected to significant volume changes and warping; matrices and punches blanking and cutting dies; stampings of the active parts of electrical machines and electromagnetic systems of electric devices.
