Uddeholm Bure

A SPECIAL STEEL FOR TOOL HOLDERS WITH ENHANCED MACHINABILITY

Uddeholm Bure is a high-strength special steel, intended for applications with severe demands on the mechanical properties of the material, while also requiring good machinability.

Compared with similar steel grades the machinability is improved, which facilitates such operations as drilling and tapping of small holes. It is particularly suitable for induction-hardening, and can also be given a PVD coating without reducing the hardness of the tool.

Benefits

  • Less wear from the chips
  • High safety against tool breakage
  • Less distortion by hardening
  • Excellent machinability

Uddeholm Bure is supplied either soft annealed or prehardened on demand.

  • Good wear resistance at low and high temperatures
  • Good toughness and ductility
  • Good tensile strength at elevated temperatures
  • Air hardening
  • Excellent machinability
  • Sustainable tool steel: 96,21% recycled content
