Product Description
DCMX (DC-matrix)
Matrix type cold die tool steel

Compared with existing cold work die steel, DCMX is excellent in machinability,

Small heat treatment distortion, high toughness,wear resistance and hardenability.
Development background
There is an increase of physical stress and load on the dies and moulds in cold press forming, while cost reductions and quick delivery continues to be in demand.

This creates a need to find materials that will support both good manufacturability and high performance of dies and tools.

DCMX is a new Matrix type Cold Work Die Steel, which fully utilizes Carbide control technology in today’s highly reviewed “Matrix type high speed tool steel, DRM series”which was launched in the fall of 2004.
Feature
“Matrix type Cold Work Die Steel” to contribute to the die longevity and improve the ease of dies and mould making.
Characteristics Compared to JIS SKD11
Manufacturability of die and tool Isotropy Excellent(more than 50% Improvement)
Machinability Excellent(more than 9 times)
Tool & Die Performance Max.Hardness Excellent(62HRC=>SKD11=60HRC)
Toughness Excellent(more than double)
Use and Effects
Use Advantage Point
PressForming Die for High Tensile steel Enhanced longevity Reduce die gnawing with high hardness
Large Scale Press Forming Die Curtailed lead time in die making Deducted heat treatment distortion as a result of isotropy
Cutting Edge & Trimming Punch Enhanced longevity High toughness contribute to prevent cracking and chipping
