The SIHARD S460 steel excels itself in the following properties:
- a very good combination of high hardness and toughness
- high wear resistance
- nitridability
- high dimensional stability
Comparison to SIHARD 2379 (D2)
The SIHARD S460 is a premium tool steel with high hardness and toughness. Compared to the conventional SIHARD 2379 (AISI D2) steel, SIHARD S460 has a higher wear resistance, better hardenability and it is capable of achieving higher hardness and toughness. Toughness is important to prevent cracking and chipping resulting in a catastrophic failure of tools. Toughness is better than in the conventional SIHARD 2379 (AISI D2) type of cold-work tool steel.
