Chrome-vanadium steel with the middle hardenability for hardening in oil, good dimensional stability after the heat treatment, especially good dimensional stability after the heat treatment and artificial aging, high hardness, very good resistance to the wear and cutting power, more significant carbidic spacing, slightly difficult ductility at the heat, good workability in the annealed state.
Steel suitable for cutting tools, profile knives and milling machines for a fine machining of coloured metals and plastics by lower cutting speeds, machine files, tools for woodworking, tools for cold cutting, circular cutting knives.

Forging | 850-1050 | Cool slowly in calm air or better e.g. in dry ash. | |
Soft annealing | 750-780 | Několik hodin prohřát (podle velikosti předmětu), většinou stačí 4 hodiny a pomalu ochlazovat v peci. Warm few hours (according to the size of object), mostly four hours are enough and cool slowly in the furnace. | |
Annealing to lower tension | 600-650 | Warm 1 to 2 hours and cool slowly in the furnace. | |
Hardening in oil | 830-870 | Cool in air, the degree of tempering is set by hardness and toughness of instrument according to the tempering chart. | |
Tempering | 150-250 | Cool in air. |
