Tool steel | 1.6356 | Specialis® / M350
Description
The maraging high-performance hot-work tool steel Specialis® is a newly developed alloy for LPBF processes and is available exclusively from Rosswag. The mechanical properties can be easily optimized through targeted heat treatments or plasma nitriding. The main advantages of Specialis® compared to other LPBF-processable tool steels are its high high-temperature strength and high hot hardness. Furthermore, the material has low thermal expansion, high corrosion and wear resistance and excellent polishability. This results in superior performance for applications in the field of functionally optimized and thermally stressed moulds, dies and tools.
