applications requiring high hardness, compressive strength, and resistance to surface collapse or edge rounding.\n      <\/p>\n      <p>\n        When the same deformation problem arises at elevated temperatures, H11 and H13 are chosen. In hot forging, die casting, hot extrusion, or hot shearing, the steel must simultaneously resist both pressure and softening.\n      <\/p>\n      <p>\n        In actual tooling, plastic deformation usually appears as edge rounding, surface sinking, punch mushrooming, die corner collapse, cavity distortion, or unstable clearance. This failure is different from normal abrasive wear because the tool is not only losing material but also changing its working geometry.\n      <\/p>\n      <p>\n        Plastic deformation results from low hardness, insufficient compressive or hot strength, or excessive pressure. If chipping or cracking occurs first, toughness, not hardness, may be needed.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h2>Recommended High-Compressive-Strength Tool Steels<\/h2>\n\n      <div class=\"aobo-table-wrap\">\n        <table class=\"aobo-table\">\n          <thead>\n            <tr>\n              <th>Grade \/ Group<\/th>\n              <th>Calificaciones equivalentes<\/th>\n              <th>Best Use Direction<\/th>\n              <th>Limitaci\u00f3n<\/th>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/thead>\n          <tbody>\n            <tr><td>D2<\/td><td>1.2379 \/ SKD11 \/ Cr12Mo1V1<\/td><td>High-pressure cold work tools needing wear resistance and deformation resistance<\/td><td>Not suitable for heavy impact<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>D3<\/td><td>1.2080 \/ SKD1<\/td><td>High-hardness cold work tools under steady pressure<\/td><td>Lower toughness than D2<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>D6<\/td><td>1.2436 \/ SKD2<\/td><td>Severe wear and pressure conditions<\/td><td>Impact risk must be controlled<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>A2<\/td><td>1.2363 \/ SKD12<\/td><td>Tools needing better toughness than D2 while still resisting deformation<\/td><td>Lower wear resistance than D2 and D3<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Cr12MoV<\/td><td>Chinese GB grade<\/td><td>General cold work dies, forming tools, and cutting tools<\/td><td>Performance depends strongly on heat treatment<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>O1 \/ O2<\/td><td>1.2510 \/ 1.2842<\/td><td>Moderate-load tools, smaller dies, and shorter production runs<\/td><td>Not suitable for severe pressure<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>H11<\/td><td>1.2343 \/ SKD6<\/td><td>Hot work tools needing pressure resistance and toughness<\/td><td>Not a cold work wear steel<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>H13<\/td><td>1.2344 \/ SKD61<\/td><td>Hot forging, die casting, hot extrusion, and hot shear tools<\/td><td>Lower cold wear resistance than D-series steels<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>M2 \/ M4<\/td><td>High-speed steels<\/td><td>Cold extrusion punches, cutting tools, and high-pressure special tools<\/td><td>Higher cost and more specific use<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>PM Tool Steels<\/td><td>PM cold work and PM high-speed grades<\/td><td>Very high hardness with improved carbide uniformity<\/td><td>Mayor costo<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Cemented Carbide<\/td><td>WC-Co grades<\/td><td>Extreme compressive load beyond tool steel capability<\/td><td>Poor tolerance for bending and impact<\/td><\/tr>\n          <\/tbody>\n        <\/table>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <p>\n        D2 is usually the practical starting point for cold work deformation resistance.

Punch pressure is often kept below about 2,370 MPa, and die internal pressure below about 1,895 MPa. When the working pressure approaches these levels, grade selection should be checked together with tool geometry, backing support, and contact area.\n      <\/p>\n      <p>\n        PM steels are useful when conventional high-alloy steels cannot provide sufficient hardness and toughness simultaneously. Some PM grades can reach about 64-69 HRC while keeping a finer carbide structure than conventionally produced steels.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h2>Common Applications of High Compressive Strength Tool Steels<\/h2>\n\n      <div class=\"aobo-table-wrap\">\n        <table class=\"aobo-table\">\n          <thead>\n            <tr>\n              <th>Aplicaci\u00f3n<\/th>\n              <th>Direcci\u00f3n de grado com\u00fan<\/th>\n              <th>Requisito principal<\/th>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/thead>\n          <tbody>\n            <tr><td>Blanking punches and dies<\/td><td>D2 \/ D3 \/ D6 \/ Cr12MoV<\/td><td>Edge stability and wear resistance<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Herramientas de acu\u00f1aci\u00f3n<\/td><td>D2 \/ D6 \/ M2<\/td><td>Resistance to surface sinking<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Peines de laminado de roscas<\/td><td>D2 \/ M2 \/ PM steels<\/td><td>Pressure resistance and dimensional stability<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Punzones de extrusi\u00f3n en fr\u00edo<\/td><td>D2 \/ M2 \/ M4 \/ PM steels<\/td><td>High compressive strength with controlled toughness<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Matrices de embutici\u00f3n profunda<\/td><td>D2 \/ A2 \/ Cr12MoV<\/td><td>Stable die geometry<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Cold heading tools<\/td><td>D2 \/ A2 \/ M2<\/td><td>Compression resistance with toughness<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Powder compaction dies<\/td><td>D2 \/ D6 \/ PM steels \/ carbide<\/td><td>High pressure and abrasive wear resistance<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Rollos formadores<\/td><td>D2 \/ D6 \/ Cr12MoV<\/td><td>Surface stability and wear resistance<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Matrices de forja en caliente<\/td><td>H11 \/ H13<\/td><td>Resistencia al calor y a la fatiga t\u00e9rmica<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>matrices de fundici\u00f3n a presi\u00f3n<\/td><td>H13 \/ H11<\/td><td>Heat resistance and pressure resistance<\/td><\/tr>\n            <tr><td>Hot extrusion tools<\/td><td>H11 \/ H13 \/ H21 direction<\/td><td>Hot compressive strength<\/td><\/tr>\n          <\/tbody>\n        <\/table>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2>When High Compressive Strength Is Not Enough<\/h2>\n\n      <div class=\"aobo-table-wrap\">\n        <table class=\"aobo-table\">\n          <thead>\n            <tr>\n              <th>Problema<\/th>\n              <th>Significado de la selecci\u00f3n<\/th>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/thead>\n          <tbody>\n            <tr><td>Cracking or chipping first<\/td><td>High compressive strength is ineffective if cracking or chipping occurs before deformation.
