Description

7X3 steel is used: for the manufacture of tools (punches, matrices), a hot landing fasteners and blanks made of carbon and low-alloy construction steels in the horizontal forging machines; parts of dies (dies, punches, ejectors) for hot pressing and extruding of these materials on crank presses with small-scale production; bending, trimming and cutting dies.
