It is most available and most popular of the cold work tool. 1.2379 is a High-carbon, high-chromium tool steels are subcategories of cold work tool. It is containing molybdenum and air hardening, and therefore has a high degree of dimensional stability in heat treatment. Although it can be quenched in oil, the movement is slightly greater when oil quenched. It has very high wear resistance, which increases with greater carbon and vanadium content. 1.2379 steel may be satisfactorily welded using the atomic hydrogen, oxy-acetylene, gas tungsten-arc, and shielded-metal-arc processes.
