A-11 Tool Steel Data Sheet
Common Tradenames: CPM® 10V®, Z A-11 PM, K294, A-11 PM, ASP® 2011
A-11 is designed with an air hardening base analysis with added high carbon and vanadium for exceptionally good wear resistance, toughness and strength for cold work tooling applications. The exceptional wear resistance and good toughness of A-11 make it an excellent candidate to replace carbide and other highly wear resistant materials in cold work tooling applications, particularly where cost effectiveness can be demonstrated.
