NIMAX ESR

EXCELLENT MACHINABILITY, POLISHING & ETCHING PROPERTIES

NIMAX ESR is an ESR remelted version of  NIMAX, keeping the features of NIMAX, but with improved cleanliness and homogeneity as a result of the ESR process.

  • Excellent polishing and etching properties
  • Excellent machinability reduces the manufacturing time
  • Easy weldability, as no preheating or post treatment necessary
  • Good resistance to indentations and a minimum risk for unexpected failures, because of the high hardness in combination with a high toughness
  • Safe mould and a prolonged tool life.

Examples of applications for NIMAX ESR:

  • Automotive:              Head and rear light, Large interior parts
  • White goods:             Control panels
  • Electronic:                LED TV frames
  • Excellent polishing and texturing properties
  • Excellent machinability
  • Very good welding properties
  • Good resistance against indentations
  • High impact and fracture toughness
  • Consistent properties through large sections
