WP7V material is a special cold work tool steel patented by Dörrenberg Edelstahl, which is alloyed with high chrome, molybdenum, and vanadium. WP7V material has high resistance against quenching. Among its properties are high compressive and tensile strength, as well as resistance to hot wear. It is suitable for CVD and PVD coating.
In terms of both chemical and mechanical properties, it lies between hot work tool steels and 12% chrome cold work tool steels. WP7V grade material performs exceptionally well in working environments where hot work tool steels undergo abrasive wear, and cold work tool steels tend to fracture. Due to its higher toughness and tempering temperature compared to 1.2379, it is preferred by users.
It exhibits higher wear resistance than impact steel and has become a sought-after steel in iron and steel factories, making flying shear blades and profile cutting blades.
What is the Hardness Value of WP7V Material?
When WP7V cold work tool steel undergoes austenitizing at 1050°C, followed by tempering at 520-540°C, its maximum hardness value reaches approximately 57 HRC.
What are the Mechanical Properties of WP7V Material?
You can find the material properties of WP7V in the "Technical Details" tab. All mechanical and material properties of WP7V steel are specified within this tab.
Where is WP7V Material Used?
WP7V tool steel's high depth of hardness makes it suitable for molds subjected to high stresses, flat-shaped engraving molds such as fork prongs, cold or hot cutting molds or punches, molds for cutting 7mm and thicker sheets, punches, perforated punches subjected to high tensile-compression forces, shear blades, and especially in molds for abrasive plastics.
What is the Price of WP7V Material?
The price of WP7V material varies depending on the product section, dimensions, and surface quality. You can access WP7V steel prices through the "Proceed to Online Sales" button on the www.saglammetal.com homepage.
