Expertise around material 1.2344 & other material steel

If you need a material made of steel, you will find it at BASEDO STEEL. We are your competent partner when it comes to steel. Starting with free-cutting steel, case-hardening steel, spring steel, fine-grained structural steel, high-speed steel, heat-resistant structural steel, etc., you can draw on a large pool of materials. We can supply you with a wide range of steel materials, depending on your specific requirements. Our wide range of products enables us to supply you with the specific steel you need. If, exceptionally, we do not have a product in stock, this is not a problem. We have a large network at our disposal. This creates the conditions for supplying you with exactly the product that is not in stock.

Large selection of steel from the various material groups

It is not for nothing that we have a large selection of material groups with the most varied properties in our extensive range. Thanks to our expertise, we know all the properties of steel in the various material groups. One example is material 1.2344. This is a high-alloy hot-work tool steel. Specifically, it is characterized by good thermal conductivity, resistance to hot cracking and, among other things, good toughness. The material 1.2344, which can only be water-cooled to a limited extent, can also be supplied to you as an unmelted ESU vrainate. Of course, material 1.2344 is available in various fixed lengths. Part of our service is that we cut the steel you order to the fixed lengths that suit you.

Competent advice & fast delivery

An essential part of our company philosophy is competent advice and fast delivery. For example, if you need steel for the production of extrusion dies, we will recommend material 1.2344. This is because the material 1.2344 is a standard material for hot working tools, pressing tools, dies and, for example, for tools used in plastics processing. Ultimately, we can always tell you which steel is suitable for which job. We are a permanent contact for you when it comes to processing the materials.
Material 1.2344 can be polished, eroded or, among other things, nitrided. Soft annealing is carried out regularly at a temperature of 750 to 800 °C for a period of 4 to 5 hours in the furnace. It is important here to cool down from last to about 600°C.
If you wish to harden the material 1.2344, this is best done at a temperature of 1020 to 1060 °C, whereby this hardening temperature must be maintained for up to 30 minutes. The final step is quenching in water or oil. Tempering, which follows immediately after hardening, is carried out on this material by slow and steady heating up to the correct tempering temperature, with a one-hour holding time in the furnace per 20 mm thickness of this material.

In addition, we are familiar with the specific questions and problems of steel processing companies. Thus, we also take care of your needs when it comes to the delivery of somewhat unusual products. Our integration in an international network of other distributors as well as manufacturers helps us to always deliver the right material for you.
