Treatment O StaUitization
After high-temperature temperingwhich is carried out in order to obtain properties,the problem of dimensionalchange will be occurredon the cold work steelsincluding SKDI I and DC53 etc. Therefore,when using it for the production of precision dies, stabilizationtreatmentis recommended. When the stabilizationtreatmentis carried out, the dimensionalchangeof DC53 can be controlled to the minimum level. (Pleasefeel free to contactour salesagencyfor the details information)
