1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) Tool Steel
1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3)
1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) material is a hot work tool steel developed as an alternative to 1.2365, specifically chosen for applications requiring high temperature resistance. It provides both higher hardness and better wear resistance compared to 1.2365.
Manufactured by Dörrenberg Edelstahl.
What is 1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) (DM3X) Steel?
1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) material is a hot work tool steel developed as an alternative to 1.2365, specifically chosen for applications requiring high temperature resistance. It provides both higher hardness and better wear resistance compared to 1.2365.
The mechanical properties of 1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) hot work tool steel at high temperatures are superior to those of 1.2343 and 1.2344. For instance, it offers a longer working lifespan in copper and brass extrusion molds compared to others. 1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) hot work tool steel is also produced using the EFS and ESR methods.

Where is 1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) (DM3X) Steel Used?
1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) hot work tool steel can be used with superior performance in all applications where 1.2365 steel is used. 1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) tool steel is used as an extrusion press container in the extrusion pressing of metals like copper and brass, in embossing thrust shafts and molds, as cores in hot forging molds, in metal injection molds, in water-cooled hot shear blades, and in the production of hot products like bolts and nuts.
The 2% more of chromium in 1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) material results in less wear at high temperatures. Chromium enhances wear resistance but reduces thermal conductivity. If heat transfer and thermal resistance are more critical than wear, the 1.2365 (32CrMoV12-28) hot work tool steel with lower chromium content should be used.
