XW-41 is a high-carbon, high chromium tool steel alloyed with molybdenum and vanadium characterized by:- High wear resistance
- High compressive strength
- Good through-hardening properties
- High stability in hardening
- Good resistance to tempering-back.
XW-41 is used when cutting thicker, harder materials; when forming with tools subjected to bending stresses and where high impact loads are involved. XW-41 can be supplied in various finishes, including the hot-rolled, pre-machined and fine machined condition. It is also available in the form of hollow bar and rings. AISI D2, W.-Nr. 1.2379 |
