86CrMoV7, 1.2327 Tool steel


86CrMoV7, 1.2327 Tool steel for cold working tools in metallurgy according to BN-68/0631-03, EN ISO 4957: 2000 , DIN 17350. Applications to Cold rolls, back-up rolls, straightening rolls, non-ferrous 2 and 4 high roll mills.

86CrMoV7, 1.2327 Tool steel - Introduction and Application

86CrMoV7, 1.2327 acc. to EN ISO 4957: 2000 are the grades with high hardenability and fracture toughness, which are designed for large-section tools for cold and hot working in the metallurgical industry. The above mentioned species are distinguished by, among others, the content of Chromium in chemical composition. The more Chromium, the better the product is for the larger work piece.NC7 steels are used as semiconductors in the state of high temperature for the production of forged cold-rolling rolls with barrel diameters up to 700mm, resistance roll shirts, dies and other parts of hot and cold rolling mill. They differ from other tool steels in the chemical composition, which consists of Chromium, Vanadium, high carbon content, and in one species of Molybdenum especially.
