DIN 1.2510 steel is defined as low alloy (containing manganese, chromium, tungsten) high carbon Oil-hardened cold work tool steel.

DIN 1.2510 steel has good toughness and impact resistance while maintaining high hardness and strength.With excellent quenching performance, DIN 1.2510 steel will still maintain excellent shape and dimensional stability at high temperatures, and its thermal fatigue resistance is especially outstanding.In addition, it also has good wear resistance.

Generally,DIN 1.2510 steel is delivered in annealed condition with hardness below 229HBW.
