Description

Materion Performance Alloys’ MoldMAX HH (High Hard) Alloy is the premier copper mold alloy. This alloy has a hardness and strength comparable with standard tool steels but its thermal conductivity is at four to six times higher. Its high hardness provides durability in applications where other high conductivity copper alloys fail. The alloy resists galling against other mold alloys, including itself.

This material data has been provided by Materion Brush GmbH.

"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.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
