High temperature resistance
Hot work steel is ideal for use at temperatures above 200° Celsius. It is found in injection moulding, forging, extrusion and the production of seamless pipes.
Ideal alloys
This steel grade derives its extreme heat resistance, sturdiness and good heat conduction from the alloy that is used – a combination of nickel, molybdenum, cobalt and other metals.
