Description
The pre-hardened, exceptionally clean engineering and tool steel.
400HBW tool steel is a pre-hardened steel suitable for engineering components and mold applications. It possesses good dimensional stability after machining.
400HBW tool steel features the same machinability as the conventional W.Nr 1.2311 steel, despite its nearly 100 HBW higher nominal hardness, in combination with the renowned high dimensional stability of tool steel. This makes 400HBW tool steel your ideal choice in engineering components that require higher strength, or in molds and dies that demand higher wear resistance.
Dimension Range
400HBW tool steel is available in thicknesses between 6 - 130 mm. Other dimensions can be available on request.
Mechanical Properties
Thickness (mm) | Hardness (1) (HBW) |
6 - 130 | 360 - 420 |
(1) Hardness is measured, according to EN ISO 6506-1, on a milled surface 0.5 - 2 mm below the plate surface.
Impact Properties
Test temperature | Min. impact energy, Charpy-V, transverse direction (2) J |
20 °C | 20 |
(2) Impact testing according to EN 10 025, EN ISO 148 with a 2 mm striker
Ultrasonic testing
Ultrasonic inspection is carried out according to EN 10160

• not repair welded
Fabrication and Other Recommendations
Welding, bending and machining
400HBW tool steel is not intended for further heat treatment. If 400HBW tool steel is heated above 590 °C after delivery from VANFORGE no guarantees for the properties of the steel are given.
Nitriding or surface coating may be carried out if the temperature is below 590 °C.
Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on the product. Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with high particle concentration.
