VIDAR SUPERIOR

DEVELOPED TO BE TOUGH

Vidar Superior is developed to be tough. With its superior toughness, Vidar Superior is a great steel for the largest die casting dies where the safety of great cracking resistance is of the highest priority. The improved toughness makes it a suitable steel in tooling subjected to high mechanical and thermal stresses.

  • High level of resistance to thermal shock and thermal fatigue
  • Good high-temperature strength
  • Excellent toughness and ductility in all directions
  • Excellent through-hardening properties
  • Good dimensional stability during hardening

VIDAR SUPERIOR

  • Hot wear resistance 40%
  • Plastic deformation resistance 50%
  • Heat checking resistance 60%
  • Premature cracking resistance 85%

Reference Grade

  • Hot wear resistance 40%
  • Plastic deformation resistance 40%
