1.2080 mod. - AT A GLANCE
What kind of steel is the 1.2080 mod.?
Steel grade 1.2080 mod. a tool steel that finds its use in cold work. Due to the high content of chromium carbids it has a high wear resistance and edge retention for sheets up to 4 mm thickness. Its full hardenabilty ensures good dimensional stability for work pieces tough with a medium toughness.
Tool steel 1.2080 mod. is a classic amongst the ledeburitic 12% chromium steels.
Properties
Cold work steel 1.2080 mod. has an excellent cutting edge retention for sheets up to 4 mm thickness and dimensional stability even with its high degree of hardness.
