Recommended!

Recommended KPMAX

These are general-purpose steel for plastic molds that feature good machinability and uniform hardness from surface through to the center. Superior welding reparability and drawing machinability make this steel an attractive alternative for large-size plastic molds instead of S55C.

Recommended KPM30

These are the HRC30-type steel for plastic molds with the completely improved characteristics of the SCM440 steel for plastic molds. Their superior machinability contributes to the reduction of customersユ mold manufacturing time.
