Uddeholm Formax

GOOD MACHINABILITY AND MECHANICAL STRENGTH

Uddeholm Formax is a bolster steel with low carbon content suitable for large top and bottom plates and medium strength supports. It can be supplied in as-hot-rolled or fine-machined condition.

Uddeholm Formax is intended for use in the as-delivered condition, i.e. not heat treated. However, it is also suitable for applications where the material must be hardened to a higher hardness,

Delivery hardness is 170 HB.
