Toolox 40 plate

The pre-hardened, exceptionally clean engineering and tool steel

Toolox 40 is a pre-hardened steel suitable for engineering components and mold applications. It possesses good dimensional stability after machining.

Toolox 40 features the same machinability as the conventional P20/1.2311 steel, despite its nearly 100 HBW higher nominal hardness, in combination with the renowned high dimensional stability of Toolox. This makes Toolox 40 your ideal choice in engineering components that require higher strength, or in molds and dies that demand higher wear resistance.
