D3 Tool Steel (X210Cr12)
12% chrome steel, very high wear resistance against abrasive and adhesive wear due to the high volume of hard carbides in the steel matrix, medium toughness, dimensionally stable, high compressive strength, not secondary hardenable.

Applications: Highly stressed cutting and punching tools for thin sheets, profile rolls, drawing and deep drawing tools, stone processing tools, knives for paper and plastics, shear knives for thin sheets.
