SKD11
Tool Steel
Equivalent Grades: GB Cr12MoV, JIS SKD11, AISI/SAE D3, DIN 2X165CrMoV12. SKD11 is the tool steel, die steel, and high carbon steel possessing high hardness, strength and wear resistance. Its surface is grinded precisely. It is often used for the stamping dies, plastic molds, and so on.
High-Carbon High-Chromium alloy steel
Purpose
SKD11 is widely used in cold work die steel.

- Steel Application
Cutting Tools
There are many types of cutting tools, such as: milling cutters, drills, circular saw blades, reamers, PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) cutting tools, hole drills, lathe tools, stamping tools, etc. The quality of the cutting tool material will affect the surface quality, cutting efficiency, tool life and other factors. Therefore, the selected tool material should have a high degree of hardness, wear resistance, strength, toughness and heat resistance.The materials for cutting tools application that we recommend are as below.
