CarTech® Micro-Melt® CD#1 Alloy

Generic Family: Steel - Wrought - Tool Steel • Supplied by: Carpenter Technology Corporation

CarTech Micro-Melt CD#1 alloy is a shock resistant cold work die steel possessing an excellent combination of toughness and wear resistance.

The alloy has a fine, uniform carbide distribution resulting from the Carpenter CarTech Micro-Melt powder metal alloy process. This fine carbide distribution, combined with a low sulfur content, results in excellent polishability of dies or tools manufactured from the alloy.

Applications:
CarTech Micro-Melt CD#1 alloy may be considered for many types of cold work tooling applications where a combination of good toughness and wear resistance is required. In addition, it may be considered for coining applications because of the excellent polishability provided by the alloy. Potential applications for this alloy may include:

Coining Dies
Slitter Knives
Blanking Dies
Rotary Shears
Chipper Knives
