1.76C 8.0Cr-0.2Mo-1.2V Low Alloy Steel

metal

This is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel containing significant additions of vanadium, tungsten, and cobalt—a composition typical of premium cutting tool and die steels designed for extreme hardness and wear resistance. The material is commonly used in precision metal-cutting tools, industrial dies, and stamping applications where edge retention and resistance to thermal cycling are critical. Engineers select this grade over standard tool steels when maximum hardness, superior abrasion resistance, and extended tool life justify the cost, particularly in high-speed or high-volume manufacturing environments where tool replacement frequency must be minimized.

Quality & Standards

Industry-Specific

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
