DIN 1.2394 tool steel, also known as X153CrMoV12, is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold work alloy tool steel. Renowned for its outstanding wear resistance and excellent dimensional stability, this material is ideal for demanding cold work applications such as blanking, punching, and cutting tools.1.2394 is comparable to AISI D6 under ASTM A681, offering similar hardness, compressive strength, and wear resistance, while maintaining good toughness after heat treatment. It is commonly used in applications where high surface hardness and minimal distortion are required.
