ELMAX via powder metallurgy manufacturing of high chromium - vanadium - molybdenum alloy steel, having the following characteristics:
l high wear resistance
l high compressive strength
l high corrosion resistance
l good dimensional stability
In view of the material, the wear resistance in corrosion resistance can not be balanced. However, via powder metallurgy manufacturing ELMAX able to both high wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
ELMAX for the manufacture of long life, easy maintenance, high overall cost of plastic mold provides a possibility.
Chemical composition of carbon and silicon-manganese-chromium-molybdenum-vanadium

Factory state soft annealed to about 240HB

Uses
ELMAX apply to add fiber engineering plastic products such as IC, connectors, switches, resistors and other electronic components, such precision molds required to take into account the wear resistance and corrosion resistance. In addition, based on the relationship between the food industry hygiene needs corrosion resistance, but also need to wear when applicable.
