Description
AFX 12 Ultra PM represents a significant advance in cold-work tool-steel performance. Its high vanadium- and tungsten-carbide content provides excellent wear resistance, while its proprietary matrix maintains toughness superior to AISI D2, M2 and A11 PM steels, extending tool life.
Because it can reach high hardness levels, it is also an excellent choice for applications requiring high compressive strength.
TypicalApplications
- Industrial Knives
- Fine-blanking tooling
- Powder-compaction tooling
- Motor-stator stamping tooling
- Wear parts for plastics processing
- Punches for metalworking applications
