Cold Work Steel

Description
BÖHLER K360 ISODUR is a further development of the 8% chromium steels and has been developed to meet the needs of our customers now more than ever before. A Remarkably high wear resistance together with good compressive strength makes this steel a real problem-solver.

Property Features

• Excellent wear resistance in combination with high toughness and good compressive strength
• Very good resistance to tempering
• Secondary-hardening cold work tool steel with good dimensional stability
• Very well suited to salt-bath, gas and plasma nitriding
• Can be PVD coated well
• Well suited to vacuum hardening
• Thanks to the chemical composition and the manufacturing process, this steel has finer distributed carbides than ledeburitic 12% Cr-steels.
