1.2714 is a hot-work tool steel, 55NiCrMoV7. AISI L6. Böhler W500 is a common trade name.

Is 1.2714 the same as 1.2344?

No. Both are hot-work steels. 1.2344 is the H13/Orvar family. 1.2714 is the Ni-alloyed 55NiCrMoV7.

Can you supply 1.2714 square bar?

We work with bar and square bar. State cross-section and length, and we check with the mill.

Is 1.2714 supplied hardened?

The bar is typically traded soft annealed. Hardening for hot work takes place at the toolmaker, and we do not promise a hardening certificate the mill has not issued.

1.2714 hot-work tool steel

1.2714 is a hot-work tool steel. The EN designation in the catalogue is 55NiCrMoV7. AISI L6 and Böhler W500 are the names we have documented. Nickel gives toughness in hot dies and forging tools. Typically soft annealed before hardening by the toolmaker. INDUSTRISTÅL supplies bar, cuts to length and ships with 3.1. 1.2344 is the more widespread H13 choice when the drawing specifies Orvar or W302.
