Toolox 44
TOOLOX 44 is a new quenched and tempered tool steel designed to have high impact and low residual stresses and therefore good dimensional stability.
- Despite hardness of nominal 45 HRC, this new steel is easy to machine.
- Particularly suitable for manufacturing plastic molds because it can be polished and etched with very good results.
- Great for guide rails, bending tools, etc. when high stability materials are required.
- Capable of A2 Polish.
