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 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. May be considered for many types of cold work tooling applications where a combination of good toughness and wear resistance is required.
