DIN 1.2080 Alloy Mold Steel
DIN 1.2080 alloy mold steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy tool steel (1.90-2.20% C, 11-13% Cr) renowned for exceptional wear resistance and compressive strength. Its matrix, enriched with hard carbides, effectively resists abrasive and adhesive wear, making it ideal for high-stress, long-life precision tooling applications. After oil quenching or vacuum gas quenching (for small sections), it achieves a hardness of 58-64 HRC with excellent dimensional stability and durability. However, brittleness during hardening requires careful process control.

4. Heat Treatment Processes
Heat Treatment
DIN 1.2080 alloy mold steel requires hardening and tempering to achieve maximum properties. For maximum accuracy, the parts of D3 tool steel should be stress relieved after roughing operations. Stress should be relieved at 648°C (1200°F) for one hour and cooled slowly.
Annealing
DIN 1.2080 alloy mold steels uniformly to 850-870°C, soak thoroughly, then slow furnace cool at a rate of not more than 25°C per hour to 650°C. The parts may then be air cooled. This should result in a maximum hardness of brinell 248.
Tempering
DIN1.2080 alloy mold steel should be cooled to room temperature and should be tempered immediately. The parts should be placed in the tempering furnace and increased slowly to the desired tempering temperature. Tempering for 1 hour per inch of thickness is required.
Hardening
DIN1.2080 alloy mold steel is extremely sensitive to overheating during hardening – do not overheat.
Pre heat slowly to 800-850°C, the raise rapidly to 950-970°C and soak until completely equalised. Quench in oil.
5. Forging & Machining Guidelines
Forging Temperature: Preheat to 900-950°C; final forging ≥900°C. Use light initial blows to prevent cracking.
Grinding: Use CBN or diamond wheels with low-speed, fine-grit operations due to high carbide content.
6. Typical Applications
High-Wear Tools: Shear blades, blanking dies, stone-cutting tools.
Precision Forming: Deep drawing dies, pressure pads, high-wear plastic molds.
Sheet Metal Processing: Thin-sheet punches, paper/plastic cutting knives, profile rolls.
