AISI OHNS-01 / DIN 1.2510

AISI OHNS-01 and DIN 1.2510 are equivalent designations for a low-alloy tool steel primarily used in cold-work applications. Let's delve into various aspects of this steel:

Steel Properties

Hardness: AISI OHNS-01 / DIN 1.2510 steel is typically hardened to around 60-62 HRC (Rockwell Hardness).
Strength: It has good strength characteristics suitable for cold-work tooling applications.
Toughness: Offers good toughness, which is essential for withstanding impact and mechanical stresses during use.
Wear Resistance: Provides moderate wear resistance due to its alloying elements.
Machinability: Generally, it has good machinability in the annealed condition. After heat treatment, it becomes harder and more challenging to machine.

Application

Cold Work Tooling: Such as blanking dies, forming dies, punches, and cold forging dies.
Cutting Tools: For machining operations where wear resistance and toughness are required.
Woodworking Tools: Such as chisels and woodworking knives.
