DC11 steel produced by Japan’s Daido Steel Co., Ltd. is also a type of JIS SKD11. It is a general-purpose cold work die steel (air-cooled hardened steel) with long life, high wear resistance, high toughness, impact resistance, not easy to deform after heat treatment, and has a fine organizational structure. Vacuum degassing refined steel, pure inner quality
Good machinability (laser cutting performance is 20% higher than SKD1)
Good hardenability, air cooling quenching (not prone to quenching cracks)
Excellent wear resistance (can be used as a blanking die for stainless steel machining and high-hardness materials)
Good toughness
