Pre-Hardened Engineering Steel Plates

Application Area

TOOLOX® is used in mechanical engineering applications where exceptionally high demands are placed on dimensional stability, strength, hardness, toughness, temperature resistance (up to 590°C), and steel purity.

Description

TOOLOX® is a modern quenched and tempered tool and engineering steel with measured and guaranteed mechanical properties. Its excellent machinability, combined with outstanding mechanical characteristics, allows for significant time savings in manufacturing. The foundation of these properties lies in its metallurgical concept, which is based on a low carbon content and a low alloying element ratio.
 

Properties

TOOLOX® is a steel that combines hardness and toughness while maintaining exceptional dimensional stability. It can be used without additional heat treatment, making it ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances, as its mechanical properties eliminate the need for further heat treatment.

Welding:TOOLOX® is easily weldable when following the recommended procedures.

Machining: TOOLOX® offers excellent machinability when processed within the recommended parameters.

Polishing and Etching:TOOLOX® is a highly homogeneous material, comparable to Electroslag Remelted (ESR) steel, making it ideal for photo-etching and polishing. These properties are particularly beneficial in toolmaking, where the surface of a plastic component is defined by the tool’s finish—whether smooth, glossy, or textured.
