Description
SKD61 is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy hot-work mold steel known for its excellent high-temperature strength, thermal fatigue resistance, and temper resistance. It is suitable for prolonged operation in high-temperature environments.
Key Features
1. Excellent high-temperature strength (it maintains high hardness even at 600°C) 2. Outstanding thermal fatigue resistance (it is resistant to cracking from thermal cycling) 3. Good temper resistance (stable hardness under high temperatures) 4. Moderate toughness (superior to cold-work steels, like SKD11)
