1.2316 tool steel contains Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium to provide high hot strength and resistance to thermal fatigue. Chromium improves hardenability and resistance to softening, while Molybdenum enhances high temperature strength. Vanadium refines grain structure and contributes to wear resistance, making 1.2316 suitable for long service life in hot work environments.
