Product description
DCMX （DC-matrix）
Matrix type die steel
Compared to existing materials, DCMX is excellent in free machining, high toughness, wear resistance and hardenability.
Developmental background
There is an increase of physical stress and load on molds for dies in cold pressing and forging, while cost reductions and quick delivery continues to be in demand. This creates a need to find materials that will support both steel stamp manufacturability and mold and die performance. DCMX is a new Matrix type Cold Work Die Steel, which fully utilizes Carbide control technology in today’s highly reviewed “Matrix high speed steel (Dream) series”, which was launched in the fall of 2004.
