NEW COLD DIE STEEL ARK1™
Overview
This is the working die steel with
the highest machinability and toughness.
Proprietary Features
| (1) | The outstanding machinability of this die steel reduces costs and cuts production time. |
| (2) | Same heat treatment as SKD11 |
| (3) | Improved toughness |
Direct Benefits
- Compared to SKD11
- Greatly improved machinability –› Increased machining efficiency –› Lower cost
- Compared to 8% Cr steel
- Improved machinability –› Increased machining efficiency –› Lower cost
- No special heat treatment necessary –› Shorter heat treatment lead time
- Reduced dimensional change and induced strain after heat treatment –› Stabilized long-term dimensions
- Compared to SKS
- No need for oil cooling –› Reduction of heat treatment deformation
- Temperable at high temperatures –› Reduced cracking and deformation during WEDM cutting
- Improved corrosion resistance –› Reduced rusting during WEDM cutting
Uses
- Dies that require much processing
- When cost reduction is top priority
- Dies with short lead time
- Other general cold working uses
Applications
- Cutting dies
- Stripper plates
- Guideposts
