Steel powder 1.2709

Material no. 1.2709 is a high-strength steel and contains 10% cobalt, 5% molybdenum and 18% nickel. Our steel powder is characterised by excellent tensile strength and toughness. It is ideal for tools that are only exposed to moderate thermal stress and need to be less notch-sensitive. Various grain sizes are available.

In the field of modern manufacturing and materials science, steel powder 1.2709 epitomises innovation and performance. As an ultra-high-strength tool steel specially developed for demanding industrial applications, this material combines a range of properties that predestine it for use in high-performance applications. From additive manufacturing to tool and mould making to applications requiring high wear resistance, our 1.2709 steel powder offers unrivalled performance.

Outstanding mechanical properties

Steel powder 1.2709 is characterised by its excellent hardness and toughness, which are achieved through carefully controlled heat treatment. These properties ensure that components made from this material can withstand extreme loads and wear, extending their service life and reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. The high wear resistance makes it particularly suitable for the manufacture of precision tools, stamping and forming tools as well as highly stressed machine parts.

Application in additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, has revolutionised manufacturing possibilities by enabling the production of complex geometries that cannot be produced using traditional methods, or only at great expense. Steel powder 1.2709 is ideal for this technology due to its excellent weldability and ability to achieve a high final hardness after printing. It enables the production of tools and components with customised properties and complex structures that are optimised for specific applications.

Versatility and sustainability

In addition to the technical advantages, steel powder 1.2709 also contributes to sustainability goals. The durability of parts made from this material leads to a reduction in material consumption and waste production. In addition, additive manufacturing enables resource-efficient production by using material only where it is needed, which increases efficiency and minimises environmental impact.

Summary

Steel powder 1.2709 represents the pinnacle of material development for high-performance applications. With its combination of hardness, wear resistance and processability, it opens up new horizons in manufacturing, particularly in additive manufacturing and toolmaking. The potential uses of this material are diverse and range from heavy-duty industrial applications to innovative design solutions. Our 1.2709 steel powder is therefore not only a material of choice for demanding applications, but also a catalyst for the development of future technologies and products.
