TOOLOX® Steel

THE PRE-TREATED STEEL WITH INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

A masterpiece.
The most versatile steel.

Toolox® is a special steel with ESR properties, developed for high performance machining. Very high tenacity and resistance to fatigue. The steel which will optimise your production processes and reduce your manufacturing costs. Never has a steel created such excitement. Toolox steels are ideal for:

Progressive die for automotive components.

Properties which make Toolox® steel the best choice

Its guaranteed properties are key for a reliable production. Toolox® always fulfils the expectations of mechanical resistance, chemical composition, hardness, dimensional tolerances, etc.

Tenacity

When the hardness requirement is between 42 and 55HRC, Toolox® 44 allows additional thermal treatment to be avoided (necessary for other steels), thanks to its exceptional and guaranteed tenacity.

Elimination of costs of thermal treatment, correction of deformations, logistics and manufacturing time.

Fatigue resistant

Excellent resistance to the appearance of internal fissures. Pieces subjected to great forces maintain their properties, prolonging their lifespan.

Easy machining

The best choice for high performance machining. The ESR properties make Toolox® the optimal solution for machining thanks to the stability of its chemical composition.

Excellent Surface Finish

The purity of the chemical composition facilitates any subsequent treatment: bluing, chrome plating, nitriding, etc.
Mirror polishing guaranteed for sheet thicknesses of 6 to 130mm, and on rounds with diameters of ø 16 to ø 192mm.

Work at high
Temperatures

Allows work to be carried out at sustained temperatures of up to 590ºC.

Vibration
absorption

Great capacity for absorbing vibrations
and not transferring them to the tools.

Saves time

Toolox® greatly reduces the roughing times of machining, because it allows hot cutting (unlike the majority of special steels).

Welding and Cutting

Toolox® steel can be welded in all grades and dimensions.

Maximum durability

Toolox® is extremely resistant to wear.

Technical and mechanical characteristics of Toolox® steels

Toolox® 33 is a pre-treated steel, perfect for components for tools and engineering. It has good dimensional stability after machining.

Toolox® 33 is delivered tempered and annealed, has great resistance and very low residual tension, and therefore very good dimensional stability after machining.
If appropriate measures are used, it may considerably increase the lifespan of your tools and components.

Applications:
Toolox® 33 is perfect for moulds, dies, components for tools and engineering, recycling equipment, and much more.

Tests:
Impact according to EN 10025, EN ISO 148 with a 2mm striker.
Hardness in accordance with EN ISO 6506-1, on milled surface of between 0.5 and 2mm below the surface of the sheet.

Pre-treated steel for cold cutting dies, aluminium extrusion and engineering components.

Despite its great hardness,, Toolox® 44 combines high tenacity with great dimensional stability during machining.
Its nominal hardness of 450 HBW/45 HRC makes Toolox® 44 the ideal option for complex applications of moulds and dies. The great purity of the steel gives Toolox® 44 very good properties for polishing, A2 gloss and texturing.

Applications:
Toolox® 44 allows nitriding and covering with PVD in applications which require greater superficial hardness to resist wear. Engineering processes can be carried out on surfaces, provided that the temperature does not exceed 590°C.

Tests:
Impact according to EN 10025, EN ISO 148 with a 2mm striker.
Hardness in accordance with EN ISO 6506-1, on milled surface of between 0.5 and 2mm below the surface of the sheet.
Ultrasound inspection according to EN 160 with extra limits in accordance with the SSAB V6 specification.

Toolox® replaces other steels due to its excellent capacities.

With these two qualities, Toolox®33 + 44, we avoid the need to have a stock of 8 different qualities.

Example of transformation

of TOOLOX® steels

Client with axle of F127 (34CrNiMo8) with localised durokrom. Material subject to much abrasion (silica). Maximum operating lifespan 3 months, ending with breakage of the axle + spindles in 100% of cases.

Solution: Toolox® 44 without additional treatment is used (machining and assembly).
Operating lifespan: 9 months and replacement of the axle due to loss of dimensions, 0% breakage.
