| PX5 is a modified P20, high performance, high precision, mold steel. Unique Characteristics: - Exceptionally clean steel with uniform microstructure – no pin holes, inclusions or hard spots.
- 30-33 HRc hardness.
- Uniform hardness throughout, even in heavy sections.
- 75% tougher than typical chrome-moly steels.
- Patented chemistry suppresses weld cracking and hardness elevation in the heat affected zone, eliminating the need for pre-heating and post-heating in most welding situations.
- Machines 30-50% faster than any other P20-type steel.
- Never needs stress relieving, even after heavy machining.
Applications:- plastic molds
- rubber molds
- press platens
- dies
