Description/Applications
A versatile tool steel for low production volume die sets
for blanking, forming and deburring and for forming rolls. It
is also suitable for gauges, bushes and engineering parts
exposed to high stresses.
A modern matrix tool steel for cold work applications with
high demands on chipping / cracking resistance and compressive
strength. Uddeholm Caldie is a robust tool steel
and is suitable for medium production volume tooling for
blanking and forming difficult production materials such as
advanced high strength steel.
A very versatile steel with adequate wear resistance and
very high toughness. It is very suitable for low to medium
production volume tooling for blanking thick production
materials or in general when the tooling is exposed to high
stresses.
A steel with a good combination of toughness, wear
resistance and dimensional stability in hardening. It is a
general cold work steel for medium production volume
tooling.
A versatile steel with a very broad properties profile
ranging from good wear resistance, compressive strength
and good chipping / cracking resistance to good hardenability
and machinability. This means that Uddeholm
Sleipner is a modern general purpose steel for medium
production volume tooling.
A steel similar to Uddeholm Sverker 21 but with more and
larger carbides. It has an excellent abrasive wear resistance
and this means that it is suitable for applications like brick
pressing and transformer plate blanking.
A 12% chromium steel suitable for medium production
volume tooling where the production materials cause
abrasive wear and the risk of chipping is not so high.
