Toolox 44



Toolox 44 is a new quenched and tempered steel designed to have high impact resistance and low residual stresses and therefore good dimensional stability. Despite a hardness of 45 HRC, the new steel is easily machined. Toolox 44 is particularly suitable for manufacturing plastic molds because it can be polished and etched with very good results. Fields of application: plastic molds, rubber molds, wear components and machine components, such as guide rails, bending tools, etc., where stability materials are required.

Machining

Toolox 44 can be machined on conventional machines. It is important that sharp tools are used with a positive cutting angle and that vibration is avoided. Use the following recommendations as guidelines and the starting point for your own evaluation of best practice.


Recommended preheat temperature when gas cutting and welding Minimum 250º C Recommended stress relief annealing (after slow cooling to room temperature ) after gas cutting and welding 580º C
