RULE DIE STEEL

»Hardness of knife body: 37 - 39 ±2 HRC, depending on the thickness of the material
»Hardness of cutting edge: about 50 HRC
»Effective hardening depth: about 0,4 - 0,6 mm
»Flexibility: about 90° with bending tool (width of lower snaker:10 mm) in one single bending movement

Applications: For high-quality tools. Long tool life with stable and durable quality. Grade Steel is very well suited for the punching of large surfaces, i.e. as required in the shoe and textile industries. This grade is particularly recommended for the production of knives with a height of 32 mm or more, as steel grades with a lower body hardness may warp and therefore cause faulty cutting.

Rule die steel has high-frequency (HF) hardened cutting edges, recommended for the manufacture of knives which are used in hydraulic cutting presses.  rule die steel has a high bending quality which enables precise bending.

This steel is suitable for knives used in a mechanical cutting press (knives with HF hardened cutting edges are not recommended for a mechanical press due to the fact that the cutting is not as smooth as with a hydraulic press and thus reduces the durability of the cutting boards).
