Industeel ArcelorMittal has developed an original patented
free-machining martensitic stainless steel called SuperPlast
Stainless (SPS), that has seen good success in the marketplace
among mold base manufacturers. Mold bases manufactured with SPS
offer high machinability to provide both high productivity and
longer tool life, thus reducing costs.

the Toolox 44, we did 254,000 hits on the die insert."
