1.2344 tool steel

Tool steel optimized for high-temperature and high-wear applications.

When should you print with 1.2344 tool steel?

1.2344 tool steel performs excellently at high temperatures and can withstand drastic cooling. Combined with its abrasion resistance and machinability, it is ideal for high-temperature tools and wear-resistant parts.

  • Forming tools
  • Wear-resistant inserts
  • Dies and punches
  • High-temperature tools

Handling 1.2344 tool steel

Markforged 1.2344 tool steel becomes harder, stronger, and tougher when heat-treated. We recommend air hardening at 1010°C (1850°F) and double hardening at 600°C (1110°F). To increase hardness at the expense of part toughness, you can double harden the steel at a lower temperature (500-550°C, 930-1022°F).

Compatible with our Metal X system.
