Description

Tempered mould steel with improved quenching and tempering properties, good machinability, polishable, weldable and can be textured. This grade offers substantial improvements, especially for building larger and complex moulds. Specific modifications of the grade's components as well as additional smelting and secondary metallurgy ensure Formadur® 320's outstanding properties. We recommend the use of Formadur® 320 Superclean (ESR) for the highest demands.

This material data has been provided by Deutsche Edelstahlwerke Specialty Steel (DEW).

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
