Material 1.2510

Cold work tool steel

Tool steel 1.2510 is easy to harden and has good wear resistance.
Material 1.2510 - modern steel

Hardly any other material in the world is as well known for its resilience and strength as steel. It is used almost everywhere nowadays. But not all steel is the same. There are many different variants that are specially designed for a particular application. For example, the carbon content determines how susceptible steel is to rust. Some grades are harder but more brittle, while particularly elastic variants may be softer. We are your experienced partner for steel of all kinds. We guarantee that we have the right product for your project in stock. With us you will not only receive steel in all variants, but also all important information about it.
1.2510 - steel of a new generation

The demands placed on components are becoming ever more stringent, which is why manufacturers of tool steel are constantly having to come up with new variants. Vehicles have to go faster, machines have to be more efficient and tools have to be even more stable. One tool steel that can meet many of the requirements is 1.2510. This steel is known for its durability. Even after years of continuous use, this steel shows no signs of fatigue. It is ideal for use in places where there should be no downtime under any circumstances. Material 1.2510 is a cold work steel, which has almost no limits in its processing. It is known for its good hardenability. If you want to buy the steel 1.2510 from us, it is already soft annealed, so you can start working directly. Tool steel 1.2510 is ideal for all punching work. With its innovative chemical composition, it shows all its strengths. Especially on the surface, this steel has an extremely high level of load-bearing capacity after hardening. In areas where there may be a lot of friction, this steel can show all its strengths. Friction is prevented and there is no excessive wear. Thus, for example, stencils can be produced with the 1.2510 material. The hardness and resilience of the steel guarantees that the stencil will not lose its shape even with regular use. Especially when it comes to extremely precise work, shape retention is of immense importance. Of course, this applies not only to guide rails or stencils, but also to the tools themselves, which ultimately carry out the work. These must also be reliable in the micrometer range. Only in this way can a supplier always guarantee consistent quality at all times.
