CP4M Material Tool Steel
CP4M Material
Cr-Mo-V alloyed, secondary hardenable cold work tool steel with high toughness, dimensionally stable, better weldability and through-hardenability (compared to the carbide rich cold work tool steel 1.2379). Excellent base material for nitriding or coating (CVD, PVD).
Manufactured by Dörrenberg Edelstahl.
What is CP4M Steel?
CP4M material is a cold work tool steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, and it can be secondarily hardened. CP4M material exhibits high toughness, dimensional stability, and good weldability. It is rich in carbides. Compared to 1.2379 cold work steel, CP4M quality steel can achieve better hardenability towards its core. It serves as an excellent base material for nitriding, CVD, and PVD coatings. CP4M steel is typically delivered in a hardened condition.
What is the Hardness Value of CP4M Material?
After austenitizing at 1000-1050 °C and subsequent tempering at 500-550 °C, the maximum hardness value of CP4M cold work tool steel reaches 60-62 HRC.
What are the Mechanical Properties of CP4M Material?
You can find the material properties of CP4M in the "Technical Details" tab. All mechanical and material properties of CP4M steel are specified within this tab.
Where is CP4M Material Used?
CP4M material is used in drawing, blanking, and cutting dies, as well as in the hot and cold forming of high-strength sheets.
What is the Price of CP4M Material?
The price of CP4M material varies depending on the product section, dimensions, and surface quality. You can access CP4M steel prices through the "Proceed to Online Sales" button on the www.saglammetal.com homepage.
