DH31-EX |
 |
I am
writing this letter to inform you that we have been very
pleased with the performance of the Daido DH31S Material that
we have been using on fragile die cast die components that
undergo abnormal, thermal abuse during the die casting
process. Although the cost of material is higher than the
other modified H13 materials that we have experimented with in
our R&D studies over the years, the extended tooling life has
performed to an extent that justifies the additional costs up
front. By using Daido DH31S material combined with EDCO’s
advanced heat treating and machining methods we have been able
to successfully and continually outperform the competition. Read complete

“With
this result, we are replacing our dies with DC-53 material.
…it machines better and a $300.00 to $500.00 tool lasts twice
as long and improves quality.”

“We
have found DC-53 to be an excellent choice for cutting steels
where chipping and cracking have been a problem. It has worked
well in applications on thinner cross-sectioned cut steels
that have been prone to cracking with conventional A-2 and D-2
tool steels under impact loads….Our die makers enjoy using it
since it grinds easily and polishes to a high finish.”

PX5 |
 |
"From
our testing we have found that we can machine PX5 at least 30%
faster in both RPM and feed and we have machined as much as 2
times faster in roughing."
"When finishing P20 it has a
tendency to weld a chip back onto the surface when milling on
the tip of a ball tool. The PX5 does not have this same
problem and creates a much smoother and more consistent
finish."

"I
was pleasantly surprised to learn there is a material (PX5)
that can gundrill about 300% faster than P20 or 4140. This is
the kind of steel that we need here in the USA and Canada, if
we are going to keep mold building and other tool shop work
here in North America."

Chief Operating Officer |
“PX5
polishes easier than other chrome-moly steels. PX5 achieves a
higher gloss level than other chrome-moly steels. PX5 allows
us to service our customers more rapidly and with a higher
quality than is possible with other mold materials.”

“As
an injection molder and tool purchaser , we are having a rough
time competing in the U.S. and offshore market. Using PX5 has
enabled us to compete…”We know of no other steel available
that can compete with the quality of PX5.”

Accurate Welding
Larry Taylor |
"PX-5
proved to consistently be the most uniformly etching mold
steel available. When welded properly, PX-5 welds were
virtually indiscernible from the parent steel. This was true
of every PX-5 mold we textured."

Owner, Mercer's Mold Polishing Co. |
”I
would rather polish PX5 than P20. In my 35 years plus, of
polishing experience, I believe PXi is easier to polish than
P20. PX5 achieves a higher quality of polish than_P20 and can
achieve SPE - SPI #1 – Automotive Lens finish.”

“We
have found that PX5 machines better (no hard spots), hand
finishes to a SPI – SPE #3 Finish, much easier than P20 and
can be nitrided with consistent surface hardness. If the
tooling requires changes or repairs in the future, PX5 is far
superior to the present P20 as far as welding and re-work are
concerned”

received 9-year-old platens made from PX5 that were still flat
and parallel with in .0015". Very impressive!"
