DCMX

DCMX is a matrix-type cold work tool steel

QUICK NAV

Overview

DCMX is a matrix-type cold work tool steel: only fine carbides are distributed in matrix due to optimum alloy design and production process.
DCMX shows high performance in service and ease in mold making as well.

Applications include:

Punches

Dies

Working Tools for Cold Pressing and Cold Forging

Cold Stamping Dies for High Strength Steels

Insert Blocks for Composite Stamping Dies

Blanking Punches and Trimming Edges

Unique Characteristics

High hardness such as 62 HRC is available by high temperature tempering with good dimensional stability, resulting in high wear resistance
High toughness helps to prevent cracking and chipping.
Isotropic dimensional change works easy geometry control in heat treating.
Machinability is improved by free machining additives and finely dispersed carbides.
