PSM Industries Ferro-TiC® C Medium Alloy Tool Steel
Categories: Ceramic; Carbide; Metal; Ferrous Metal; Alloy Steel; Medium Alloy Steel; Tool Steel

Material Notes: Ferro-TiC® Steel alloy bonded titanium carbide (TiC) materials are made by advanced powder metallurgy technologies. Unlike tungsten carbide, Ferro-TiC® is bonded by hardenable alloy matrices.

Excellent vibration dampening in the annealed condition, excellent cryogenic properties. Replaces A-2 tool steel. Highly Magnetic.

    Ferro-TiC® Unique Characteristics
  • Provides the lightweight, size, stability, and hardness
  • Virtually porosity free - significantly better than the A1 ASTM B-276-79 Standard
  • Low specific mass. Ferro-Tic® is 10-20% lighter than its steel counterpart and about 50% lighter than tungsten carbide
  • 10 times the wear resistance of tool steels
  • Economical fabrication (conventionally machinable in the annealed stage by milling and turning, conventionally heat treatable to achieve high hardness)
  • 50-90% less linear size change in heat treat than tool steels
