CALDIE

Caldie is a very high toughness cold work tool steel with the following characteristics:
• Very good chipping and cracking resistance
• Good wear resistance
• Excellent polishability (Produced via Electro-slag remelting (ESR))
• High hardness (>58 HRC) after high temperature tempering
• Good dimensional stability in heat treatment and in service
• Excellent through-hardening properties
• Good machinability and grindability
• Good surface treatment properties
• Good resistance to tempering back
• Very good WEDM properties

Applications:
• Molding applications requiring  both high hardness and high toughness
• Higher temper resistance than AISI S7 (applications requiring coatings)
• Non-return values for plastic injection
