Description

Z-420 PM® is a corrosion resistant, high vanadium tooling material produced by powder metallurgy methods. It is a martensitic stainless grade designed to also provide high wear resistance (similar to Z-9 PM) while maintaining good toughness (similar to Z-10 PM). It is intended for use in applications where grades such as D2, 9V, and 10V do not have the needed corrosion resistance, and where stainless grades such as 420 and 440C do not have sufficient wear resistance. Z- 420 PM® has been shown to provide equivalent fabricability, wear, and corrosion resistance in CPM S90V* in a broad spectrum of applications.

Typical Applications

• plastic injection and extrusion feedscrews
• non-return valve components
• palletizing equipment
• injection molds and inserts
• industrial knives, cutters and slitters
• wear parts in food and chemical processing
• gear pumps
