1.2083 / X40Cr14

Properties

Tool steel with high gloss polishability, good corrosion and wear resistance as well as machinability.
The electroslag remelting (ESR) provides high homogeneity and cleanliness.
1.2083 mod ESR with Vanadium offers superior polishability (mirror finish) and improved corrosion resistance. Compared to a standard grade surface, 1.2083 mod ESR surfaces are 70% smoother.
For highest requirements, the vacuum arc remelted 1.2083 VAR offers outstanding micro cleanliness.
