Main application scope
- Mold Manufacturing: SKD11 is widely used in the manufacturing of plastic molds, die-casting molds, stamping molds, and other mold-making processes. Its high hardness, good wear resistance, and machinability make it an ideal material for mold manufacturing.
- Cutting tools: SKD11 is commonly used to manufacture high-performance cutting tools, such as cutting tools, end mills, and drills. Its excellent cutting performance and wear resistance enable it to meet various cutting requirements.
- Cold work dies: Due to its good hardness and dimensional stability, SKD11 is widely used in the manufacture of cold work dies, such as punches, stamping dies, and embossing dies.
- Cold forging dies: SKD11 is also used in the manufacture of cold forging dies, such as die cores and cavities, to cope with the high pressure and high temperature during the cold forging process.
