International Mold Steel DC53 General-Purpose Cold Work Die and Mold Steel
Categories:	Metal; Ferrous Metal; Tool Steel; Cold Work Steel; Mold Steel
Material Notes:	Description: DC53 is a general-purpose cold work die and mold steel whose strength and toughness approach those of high-speed steels. Unique Characteristics: Higher hardness (62-63 HRc) than D2 after heat treatment. Twice the toughness of D2 with superior wear resistance. 20% higher fatigue strength than D2. Smaller primary carbides than D2 protect the die from chipping and cracking Secondary refining process (DLF) reduces impurities. Machines and grinds up to 40% faster than D2. Less residual stress after wire EDMing. Applications: Plastic Molds Stepped punch and press-punching dies Concrete sprayer parts, rotor plates Swaging dies and backers Dies for cold forging Thread-rolling circular dies Piercing punch Thread-rolling dies for heat-treated bolts Forming dies Stripper plates for lead frame blanking Gauges Screws for injection molding machines Information provided by International Mold Steel.
