If it's aluminum as the numbers suggest then no, not suitable. you would have pins that are usually pretty hard and the pressing would dent and loosen over a short amount of time. Suggest O1, D2 or even case hardenable material. I have used mild steel on a knurling tool with good results, pins are hard and haven't detected any destructive wearing. Aluminum would not last.
