SS410 forging ingots
Martensitic stainless steel, about 11.5–13.5% Cr, hardenable. Valve trim, pump shafts.
Stainless and Tool Steel Forging Ingots
Stainless forging ingots resist corrosion through chromium. Tool steel forging ingots are cast for die blocks and tooling, where homogeneity and carbide distribution decide tool life.
Supplied as square, fluted and round forging ingots, M1.5 to M22 (1,450 to 23,500 kg with hot top), vacuum degassed and bottom poured. Send the grade, standard, ingot mark and shape for a quotation. Chemistry is certified on the heat test certificate.
400 series stainless grades
SS409 forging ingots
Ferritic stainless steel, about 10.5–11.75% Cr. Used where moderate corrosion resistance is enough.
SS430 forging ingots
Ferritic stainless steel, about 16–18% Cr, with good corrosion resistance and no hardening.
Tool steel grades
H11 tool steel ingots
Hot work tool steel, about 5% Cr with Mo and V, close to H13 with a little less vanadium and more toughness.
H13 tool steel ingots
Hot work tool steel, about 5% Cr with Mo and V. Forging dies and die casting dies.
D2 tool steel ingots
Cold work tool steel, about 12% Cr and 1.5% C. Blanking dies, shear blades and wear tooling.
D3 tool steel ingots
Cold work tool steel, about 12% Cr and about 2% C. Very high wear resistance for blanking dies.
