HOT WORK TOOL STEEL (IND/USA/EUR)

These hot die steels are compatible with heat. They are highly known for great wear resistance, heat conductivity, hardness and robustness at increased temperatures. These tool steels have enhanced features and prove highly useful due to decreased Sulphur levels. They are used where operating temperatures of the tool steel may reach levels where resistance to softening, heat checking and shock is important. It has high heat resistance and medium wear resistance, Distortion in hardening is low.
