CPM 1V is a medium carbon, high alloy tool steel which exhibits high toughness combined with high heat resistance. It is suited for both hot or cold applications which demand high impact toughness and also require moderate wear resistance. The CPM (Crucible Particle Metallurgy) process produces very homogeneous, high quality steel characterized by superior dimensional stability, grindability, and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional processes.
