DB6 1.2714

Introduction

DB6 (1.2714 steel ) is highly recommendable for Close Die Forgings due to its characteristics of high wear-resistance, extra toughness , high hardness which is achieved with Cr-Ni-Mo-V high graded alloys. The equivalent grade DB6 / L6 / SKT4 normally used as a pre-hardened condition. The standard hardness is 360 to 430 BHN. DIN 2714 is the upgraded version of DIN 2713 for better performance of dies. We are a premier 1.2714 steel supplier, offering durable and high-quality steel for your industrial requirements.

Characteristics : Classic die steel like grade 2713, but with better tempering properties and better through-hardening properties to a reference diameter of 450mm. For larger dimensions we recommend grade 2714 ISO-B MOD or hardening and tempering after contour roughing. For hardness up to 440 HB (approx. 1500 MPa).

Applications : Large press dies for forming aluminium, forging dies for large quantities regardless of die size and shape of cut, die and mould holders, tool holders and cold forging die holders, tool cassettes. Hydroforming moulds (IHU).
