DB-6

Die Block Steel, or DB-6, is a premium tool steel used in the production of dies, punches, and molds. Under severe loads and frequent impacts, it provides exceptional wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability. DB-6 guarantees a long service life and dependable performance in precision tooling applications thanks to its good hardening and tempering qualities. It strikes a mix of strength, hardness, and machinability for demanding engineering use, making it perfect for industrial dies, extrusion tools, and cutting tools.
