Tool steel molex

Offers excellent wear resistance, combined with good deep hardening characteristics. Its ability to show low distortion or movement in heat treatment makes this material an excellent product for many tool room applications where size stability is critical. Typical applications include: plastic mold dies, stamping dies, machine parts, cold trimming dies, mandrels, slitters and threading taps. A versatile hot work steel that can be widely used in various hot and cold work tooling applications. The combination of good red hardness and abrasion resistance, with the ability to resist heat checking makes this a popular work horse tool steel.

It can withstand drastic cooling from high operating temperatures. Typical applications include: extrusion dies, hot shear blades, plastic mold cavities and hot forging dies. A superb choice of tool steel when applications call out for shock resistance at both high and low temperatures. Additionally, daisy chain and different connector orientations can be accomplished.
