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
