W2PN
metal· W2PN
W2PN is a tool steel alloy in the water-hardening steel family, characterized by high carbon content and tungsten alloying for enhanced hardness and wear resistance. It is primarily used in punching, forming, and stamping dies where cost-effectiveness and adequate hardness are balanced against toughness requirements. Engineers select W2PN for applications requiring good edge retention and dimensional stability at moderate operating temperatures, making it a practical choice for high-volume production tooling where premium alloy steels would be cost-prohibitive.

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.
