Toolox 46
Pre-hardened, very high-hardness steel for demanding tooling
Toolox 46 is a pre-hardened steel developed for the most demanding hot-work tooling applications. Despite its very high hardness, it can be machined with standard carbide tooling. Its surface properties can be enhanced by nitriding, laser or PVD. It is available as plates, forged blocks and round bars and is particularly suited to applications that require high hardness and performance.
