Cr12MoV Cold Work Tool Steel: Enhancing Mold Performance and Durability
Cr12MoV is a ledeburite cold work tool steel improved from Cr12 with added Mo and V. It has better hardenability, hardness, wear resistance, and lower heat treatment distortion .
This steel is ideal for heavy-load, bulk production, and complex-shaped cold molds . It performs well in quenching, tempering, and wear resistance , making it suitable for large and complex dies .
Typical applications include punching and trimming dies, piping dies, deep-drawing molds, circular saws, gauges, thread rolling dies, and other cold work tools .
Cr12MoV combines high hardness, strength, and durability , making it the preferred choice for demanding tooling environments .

Heat Treatment Specifications:
Quenching: Heat the Cr12MoV steel to 950-1000°C, then rapidly cool it in oil.
Tempering: After quenching at 1020°C, temper the steel at 200°C for 2 hours.
Hardness:
Annealed Hardness: The hardness after annealing is 255-207HB (14-25HRC), with an indentation diameter of 3.8-4.2mm.
Quenched Hardness: The hardness after quenching is ≥60HRC, providing high hardness and wear resistance.
Production process
Cr12MoV cold work tool steel offers superior hardenability, quenching, tempering hardness, wear resistance, and strength compared to Cr12 steel. It is widely used in the manufacture of various cold stamping dies and tools, particularly in applications with large cross-sections, complex shapes, and heavy working conditions. These applications include:
Punching dies
Trimming dies
Piping dies
Deep drawing dies
Circular saws
Standard tools and gauges
Thread rolling dies
Cr12MoV is valued for its excellent combination of wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability. It excels in high-stress environments, making it the ideal choice for tools and dies that require consistent, reliable performance in precision manufacturing and heavy-duty applications.
With its superior strength and wear resistance, Cr12MoV provides enhanced durability in cold stamping and forming processes, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal downtime in demanding industrial applications.
