Uddeholm Viking is a versatile, high alloyed tool steel characterized by the right combination of toughness and wear resistance required for heavy duty blanking and forming.
Benefits
- The chemical composition of Uddeholm Viking gives a hardness potential of 58 HRC with compressive strength and wear resistance accordingly.
- The small amount of primary carbides means a high chipping resistance and with 8 % chromium follows a very good hardenability and also a fairly good resistance to corrosion.
- Both flame and induction hardening methods can be applied to Uddeholm Viking.
- The good tempering resistance and dimensional stability during heat treatment means good possibilities for CVD and PVD coating of Uddeholm Viking.
Standard specification W.nr 1.2631 / AFNOR Z 50CDV 8
Uddeholm Viking is formerly known as Uddeholm Chipper.
