Evek GmbH offers to buy sheets and strips of X12M and X165CrMoV12 (1.2601) alloy tool steels at an economical price from the manufacturer. Supplier provides strict adherence to the range of supplied metal, it is guaranteed prompt delivery to the address specified by the customer.

Chemical composition

X12M steel belongs to the group of stamping steels designed for cold-forming tools. In CIS countries this steel is produced in accordance with GOST 5950 specifications. The chemical composition of steel is given below:

Component C Si Mn Cr Mo V
Percentage content in steel 1,45...1,65 0,15...0,35 0,15...0,40 11,50...13,00 0,40...0,60 0,15...0,30

GOST allows the presence of metallurgical impurities in steel - phosphorus and sulfur. Their percentage should not be higher than 0.03%.

The European analogue of X12M is steel X165CrMoV12 (1.2601). European steelmakers produce this steel in accordance with DIN 17350 specifications. Steel X165CrMoV12 (1.2601) has the following chemical composition:

Component C Si Mn Cr Mo V W
Percentage content in steel 1,55...1,75 0,25...0,40 0,20...0,40 11,00...12,00 0,50...0,70 0,10...0,50 0,40...0,60

The tolerances for sulphur and phosphorus content in steel X165CrMoV12 (1.2601) are the same as those for X12M.

Evek GmbH sells sheets and strips of tool alloy steels X12M and X165CrMoV12 (1.2601) at an economical producer price. The supplier guarantees adherence to the product range of sheet metal products and their prompt transportation to the location specified by the customer.

Properties and application

X12M and X165CrMoV12 (1.2601) pressed alloy steels are included in the group of steels with increased wear resistance, but somewhat reduced impact toughness. It predetermines the most effective application of these steels for manufacturing of punches and dies for cold forging dies at specific loads which should not exceed 2000 MPa. These steels are used in the production of press punches and bandage plates, which are used for reinforcing large cast iron cold forming punches.

After quenching and tempering, the steels in question have these physical and mechanical parameters:

  • Maximum bending strength - 3000...3100 MPa;
  • The limit of plasticity - 2000...2200 MPa;
  • Rockwell hardness - 60...63 HRC;
  • Impact toughness - 18...22 kJ/m2;
  • Brinell hardness - not higher than 212 NV.
