What is Toolox®?
Toolox is a different steel concept for production of mould and dies.
The basic idea is to deliver steel ready to use with guaranteed and
measured mechanical properties.

Toolox is
a pre-hardened quenched and tempered steel
a steel with ESR properties
a steel suitable to nitriding
What is the point?
Guaranteed properties
Toolox is delivered in two different hardness levels;
- Toolox 33, 300 HBW, R ~ 850 MPa.
p0.2
- Toolox 44, 450 HBW, R ~ 1300 MPa.
p0.2
Both grades possess excellent toughness and fatigue properties. • Impact toughness
Furthermore, Toolox 44 has very good mechanical properties at
elevated temperatures.
• Hardness
Toolox is designed to be machined;
delivered as stress relieved with extremely low residual stresses. • Thickness
The steel homogeneity gives excellent machinability. Toolox has
good weldability and is perfect for etching, polishing and EDM.
• Flatness
Toolox has an extra option;
it is very suitable for nitriding. With nitriding it is possible to reach • Surface condition
surface hardness of 58-65 HRC. If required, component service
life length can be increased using surface engineering such as ni-
triding, or nitriding followed by PVD-coating.
Strong steel delivered ready to use

used to denominate the steels replaced.
