Uddeholm Unimax is a high hardness hot work tool steel which provides great wear resistance even over extended time at elevated temperatures. It performs very well in precision forging and hot stamping.
Improved durability and wear resistance in moulding processes that wear hard on the mould like long run production, moulding of reinforced plastics and compression moulding
Longer tool life and a smoother production run with fewer disturbances for maintenance due to the high ductility
Problem solver in severe cold work applications where high chipping resistance is required
The high hardness and toughness together with the good dimension stability makes Unimax suitable as a substrate steel for surface coating when needed
The very good hardenability and the unique properties profile of Unimax make it especially suitable for larger moulds. Unimax is therefore supplied in larger dimensions
Excellent toughness and ductility in all directions
Good wear resistance
Good dimension stability at heat treatment and in service
