1.2343 ESR is a hot work steel with excellent toughness combined with high thermal stability, high resistance to thermal shocks, good thermal conductivity.
1.2343 ESR steel is a hot work tool steel with a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy, offering high mechanical strength, good toughness, ductility, as well as excellent machinability and polishability. This high-grade material has undergone an electro-slag remelting (ESR) process and special thermo-mechanical treatment to refine it, resulting in high levels of toughness and, consequently, thermal fatigue resistance. The use of 1.2343 ESR quality material in molds ensures longer mold lifetimes.
1.2343 ESR (WP5) (X37CrMoV5-1) tool steel possesses a very fine-grained microstructure. The material processed through the electro-slag remelting (ESR) method provides superior results. The ESR process delays the appearance of surface cracks in the material.
What is the Hardness Value of 1.2343 ESR (WP5) Steel?
After austenitizing at 1000-1050 °C and subsequent tempering at 500-550 °C, the maximum hardness value of 1.2343 ESR hot work tool steel reaches 52-54 HRC.
