BUAF Metal Bulletin

W360, is produced via the Electro Slag Remelted production process. The impressive thing about this grade is that it posesses superior wear resistance (at 56HRc) while still maintaining better impact properties than conventionally produced 1.2344 grades. Initial trials in South Africa have provided excellent results through providing a tool which is able to provide longer production runs. This Hot Work Tool Steel will be able to do the same for your business.

Special emphasis will be placed on our Powder Metallurgical Tool Steel Program. These products are targeted at companies that have ever increasing demands on production numbers.
