ICS22

Material for molding which hardly cracks by hobbing and is superior in hardenability and toughness.
Cold tool steel which has an aptitude for carburizing and quenching.


Material for molding which hardly cracks by hobbing and is superior in hardenability and toughness. Cold tool steel which has an aptitude for carburizing and quenching.

Difficult to crack when material of hardness less than 171HB is processed by hobbing.
Good hardenability and vacuum quenching aptitude have been obtained.







Applications

By mass production
or small-quantity production
and low load
For Eyeglass frames, Clocks, Coins and so on.
quench and temper after cold hobbing.
By mass production
and high load
For Screws, Bolts and Auto parts.
carburize after cold hobbing.
