Toolox® 46 is a steel delivered already heat treated to a very high hardness.
The chemical composition is based on the succesful Toolox® 44 product but with a modified chemical composition making this a perfect choice for the most demanding hot work tooling applications. Despite the high hardness, machining can be carried out smoothly with normal carbide tooling. If necessary the surface properties can be further enhanced with nitriding, laser and PVD.
1) Hardness is measured, according to EN ISO 6506-1. The measurement is performed on a milled surface 0.492" below the ordered surface för forged blocks, and 0.02" - 0.079" below the surface for plates.
1) Impact testing according to EN 10 025, EN ISO 148 with a 0.079" striker.
Tolerances according to Toolox® Thickness Guarantee.
Toolox® Guarantees meets the requirements of EN 10029 Class C, but offers more narrow tolerances for plates.
Thickness tolerances for Toolox® forged blocks are according to 0"/+0.126".
Length and width tolerances according to EN 10029 for Toolox® plates.
Length tolerances for Toolox® forged blocks are -9.685"/+9.685".
Tolerances for Toolox® plates are according to Toolox® Flatness Guarantees, which are more restrictive than EN 10029 Class N (steel type L).
Maximum accepted flatness deviation for Toolox® forged blocks are 0.039"/39.370".
According to EN 10163-2 Class B, Subclass 3 for Toolox® plate.
Surface condition for Toolox® forged blocks is machined surface plus oiling.
Quenched and Tempered at a minimum temperature of 1094 °F.
