AISI 5160 Steel is a High carbon anti-friction bearing steel. It belongs to the high-quality high carbon alloy Spring Steel.

Its Oil Quenched & Tempered Hardness is 28-34 HRc. 5160 steel Annealing delivery hardness less than 250HB.

5160 plates of steel, Highlight the advantage is good hardenability, another hot working performance, comprehensive mechanical properties,

Decarburization resistance is also a good big cross-section of various important springs, such as automobile, locomotive, large plate spring, spring, etc. 5160 Spring main used for heavy vehicles, tractors, industrial production load, stress and the diameter of the larger plate spring and helical spring.

A2 steel/1.2363 is a German Cold work tool alloy steel material grade.

A-2 steel is an air hardening alloy chromium-molybdenum-Vanadium die steel. As cold work steel, its grade contains 5% chromium. In applications that require greater size stability, A2 steel is preferable to O1 tool steel.

Advantage of A2 steel in repair welding operation: since the preheating and post-heating temperature is lower than SKD11, repair welding operation is easier.

A typical application such as blanking die, the molding dies, blanking dies, stamping die, stamping die, die, extrusion die, boxing, shear knife blade, instrumentation, knurling tools, volume, head, and machine parts.

Otai provides the grinding, milling, polishing, turning, drilling, and other machining services as your required tolerances and size. We are welcome to your kind inquiry.
