UNIMAX
GREAT WEAR RESISTANCE EVEN OVER EXTENDED TIME AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
UNIMAX is a high hardness hot work tool steel which provides great wear resistance even over extended time at elevated temperatures. It performs very well in precision forging and hot stamping.
- Improved durability and wear resistance in moulding processes that wear hard on the mould like, long run production, moulding of reinforced plastics and compression moulding
- Longer tool life and a smoother production run with fewer disturbances for maintenance due to the high ductility
- Problem solver in severe cold work applications where high chipping resistance is required
- The high hardness and toughness together with the good dimension stability makes Unimax suitable as a substrate steel for surface coating when needed
- The very good hardenability and the unique properties profile of Unimax make it especially suitable for larger moulds. Unimax is therefore supplied in larger dimensions
- Excellent toughness and ductility in all directions
- Good wear resistance
- Good dimension stability at heat treatment and in service
- Excellent through-hardening properties
- Good resistance to tempering back
- Good hot strength
- Good thermal fatigue resistance
- Excellent polishability
- Corrosion resistance 30%
- Wear resistance 80%
- Polishability 80%
- Toughness 60%
