Tool steel 1.2826 is also known as collet steel. Its alternative name is 60MnSiCr4. In addition to collets, the material is also suitable for ejection pins in plastic molds or for simple cutting and forming tools. Upon delivery, the steel is annealed to a hardness of around 220 HB.
Depending on the hardness, alloy 1.2826 should be tempered. Cooling should take place in still air. The material is hardened and then cooled in oil. After stress relief or soft annealing , cooling takes place first in the furnace and then in air.
High toughness; High wear resistance; Good suspension properties
