Polmax
Polmax is a through hardening corrosion resistant mould steel with an excellent polishability, good corrosion resistance and machinability. Widely used for moulds for lenses, compact discs, memory discs and medical applications.
This material is close to W. No. 1.2083 / AISI 420 Modified.
Benefits
The rapid development in the high-tech area is putting higher and higher demands on the tool steel. Surface finishes, which have not been possible to achieve with ordinary tool steel, are required. For these extreme requirements Polmax is the right choice.
Properties
Characteristics found in Polmax:- Excellent polishability
- Good corrosion resistance
- Good wear resistance
