SSAB, the Swedish manufacturer of Toolox, now supplies its tool steel as forged round material in gradated diameters from 60 mm to 380 mm. Round material with 30 mm in diameter is in preparation. What’s new is the form of delivery, as sawed strips in widths between 250 and 600 mm with material thicknesses from 20 to 130 mm. The manufacturer meets the needs of it customers. The typical field of application for Toolox 44 is as tool steel, and Toolox 33 is used prevalent as machine steel. Despite its hardness and dimensional stability, Toolox can easily be machined using everyday tools and machinery. The sheets are very smooth and shape exactly. It is enough to add a material surplus of a millimeter in relation to the desire size. Toolox 44 is the world’s hardest “pre-hardened” tool steel. The high purity and good tenacity are achieved with little carbon content. A further plus, Toolox is already through recompensed in as-delivered condition, which helps to save additional expenditure.
