WEAR-RESISTANT STEELS FOR HOT-WORK APPLICATIONS |
|
|
Erasteel High Speed Steels,especially ASP® powder-metallurgy steels are used in tools for hot-forming of metals. Important mechanical properties for hot-working tools are :
 hot hardness
tempering resistance
wear resistance
toughness
Typical applications are :
rolls for hot rolling
extrusion dies
forging dies
Examples of common steel grades are :
ASP 2012, a powder-metallurgy High Speed Steel with high bend strength, offers many advantages in dies
for extrusion of aluminium
ASP 2053, a powder-metallurgy High Speed Steel with high wear resistance, is used in rolls for hot rolling
