1.2360 / 1.2360 mod. - AT A GLANCE
What kind of steel is the 1.2360 / 1.2360 mod.?
1.2360 / 1.2360 mod., also known as Chipper Knife steel, an air hardening, 8% chromium, cold work tool steel.
This steel is suited for applications which need the combination of high toughness and good wear resistance. The X48CrMoV8-1-1 / X48CrMoV8-1 has an excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment.
Properties
All in all, 1.2360 / 1.2360 mod. is a very robust and universally applicable cold work tool steel. It is characterized by its through-hardenability, high toughness and wear resistance.
- Tool steel
- Chipper-Knife-Steel

Applications
The 1.2360 / 1.2360 mod. often gets chosen for the combination of its wear resistance and toughness. Workpieces are exposed to forces like shock and impact as well as wear when e.g., chipping trees.
Here are a few applications of 1.2360 / 1.2360 mod.:
Punches, dies and moulding tools: Breakage and chipping when using 1.2360 / 1.2360 mod. is prevented due to its good wear resistance and excellent toughness. At room temperature, it can be easily shaped/formed, e.g. during cold stamping. The toughness of the 1.2360 / 1.2360 mod. prevents punches and dies from splitting or cracking and from deformation under pressure.
Knives, blades and cutting tools: Shear blades, slitting blades or cutting knives and blades need to have good cutting properties, but also be able to withstand some impacts. So the wear resistance and toughness of 1.2360 / 1.2360 mod. are also important here.
