DIN 1.2826 / 60MnSiCr4 Cold Work Tool Steel
Impact Resistance & Durability
DIN 1.2826’s high manganese content (0.80-1.10%) ensures exceptional toughness, making it ideal for tools like chisels and agricultural blades that face repetitive impact. Its Charpy impact values (20-30 J) surpass conventional high-carbon steels like O1.
Simplified Machinability
In the annealed state (≤229 HB), the steel exhibits excellent machinability and grindability, reducing production time for complex geometries. Minimal distortion during heat treatment ensures dimensional accuracy for precision tools.
Cost-Effective Versatility
From industrial springs to forming dies, DIN 1.2826 adapts to diverse applications. Its lower alloy content reduces material costs while maintaining sufficient wear resistance for medium-duty tasks, ideal for small-scale manufacturers.

DIN 1.2826 (60MnSiCr4) Tool Steel Overview
1.DIN 1.2826 (60MnSiCr4) Tool Steel Introduction
DIN 1.2826 (60MnSiCr4) is a manganese-silicon-chromium alloyed cold work tool steel renowned for its balanced toughness, moderate wear resistance, and cost-effectiveness. With a composition of 0.55-0.65% carbon, 0.80-1.10% manganese, and 0.30-0.60% chromium, it achieves a hardness of 54-58 HRC after heat treatment. Its design prioritizes applications requiring shock resistance, such as blanking dies, agricultural tools, and industrial springs. Widely used in machinery, automotive, and tooling industries, DIN 1.2826 offers a practical balance between performance and affordability for medium-duty tooling.
