1.2363 X 100 CrMoV 5
Cold working tool steel for manufacturing cutting tools, thread rolling dies as well as shearing blades and hardened
large-section guideways.
The material 1.2363 fills a gap between 1.2842 and 1.2379. Machining is unproblematic, similarly to 1.2842. The
grinding of hardened components is also simple compared with 1.2379. However 1.2363 hardens well under vacuum
similarly to 1.2379. In addition, 1.2363 is significantly cheaper than 1.2379 and should be used where 1.2842 is
inadequate for the application requirement due to wear resistance or through hardening capability but the 1.2379 is
not absolutely necessary. In the case of recurring applications it makes sense to carry out material comparison
tests.
This material can be obtained from us as precision flat steel, Varioplan, raw flat steel, in the form of
ready-to-fit, hardened guideways to your drawings and also as a semi-finished product to your individual
specifications.
1.2363 machines well and takes hardnesses of up to 63 HRc; good wear properties are achieved with secondary
hardening. Larger guideway cross-sections also through-harden well - 1.2363 being the ideal material for hardened
guideways over 40 mm thick.
