Description
1.2083 Flat Bars / DIN 1.2083 Flat Bars
1.2083 Flat Bars are suitable for manufacturing moulds, dies, tooling components, machine parts and other precision engineering components. Material can be supplied as per customer requirements and applicable material specifications.
Textron Steel and Alloys is a supplier and stockist of 1.2083 Flat Bars, offered in different sizes, thicknesses, widths, lengths, finishes and supply conditions. DIN 1.2083 is a chromium-alloyed tool steel commonly selected for applications requiring good wear resistance, hardness and corrosion resistance.
What is 1.2083 Flat Bar?
1.2083 Flat Bar is a flat-section steel product manufactured from grade 1.2083 tool steel. The material is widely associated with chromium alloy tool steels used for moulds, dies and tooling applications.
The flat bar configuration makes the material convenient for machining into mould plates, inserts, tool components, wear parts and other components where a rectangular cross-section is required.
Depending on the application, 1.2083 Tool Steel Flat Bars can be supplied in annealed, hardened and tempered or other agreed conditions.
