Powder metallurgy tool steel / high speed steel - Scana Steel Soderfors - #1

Text version of the page

Powder metallurgy for tooling Innovation and quality mill rolls where the stress is at ihighest are examples f h PM ill bl b tt f Söderfors has a history of entrepreneurship. Several of todays conventional toolsteels were developed in Söderfors. High speed steels went through developments in Söderfors. Cemented carbide development in Söderfors created the foundation for rapid development. Research in powder metallurgy high speed steels (PM HSS) was initiated in 1968 of where will enable better performance Superfinishing Scana’s PM grades are produced in a closed production chamber where access to harmful particles and gasses is prohibited. By an improved and 1972 the first commercial grades was launched. Scana Steel Söderfors has longer experience than anyone else on the market of securing even quality levels of PM HSS. The super clean material from powder metallurgy enables improved material strength, better heat resistance and better toughness compared to conventional materials. p g p y p heating process together with argon, the slag can be removed to more than 90%. Hardness, toughness and carbide quanty are all important Applications PM steels are performing their best in the toughest environments. Broaches, taps, punches, drills, steel Scanas PM HSS and PM tool steels are positioned to cover general coldworking, cutting, dry machining, wood and paper cutters as well as hotworking. Some applications require more toughness, other hardness or abrasive resistance. Scana Steel Söderfors
