The M789 – Precipitation Hardenable Stainless Steel – Böhler material combines the easy printability of Maraging Steel with the corrosion resistance of a 17-4PH (Stainless Steel AISI630).

The M789 reaches high tensile strength (up to 1800 MPa) and hardness values (up to 52HRC) after heat treatment, which makes usable for structural components that usually where made using high performance structural steels, such as AISI 4340 and Maraging M300. Furthermore, the M789 steel is a corrosion resistance steel rather than other high performance structural steels, hence it is possible to avoid to use galvanic coatings (e.g. cadmium and chromium, VI and III).

These properties allow to use the M789 steel for shafts, brackets, dies, gears and impellers operating in mild to heavy corrosive environments.

Hot Work Tool Steel Böhler W360 has all the characteristics necessary for the production of components used for hot work such as: high thermal conductivity (comparable to that of cast iron), good wear resistance and compressive strength, possibility of being heat treated in vacuum, hardness between 42 - 60 HRC and good weldability, a particularly useful feature in case of restoration and regeneration of existing products.

Compared with the classic H11/H13/1.2367 hot work steels, the Böhler W360 has decidedly superior performance, making it particularly suitable for the production of moulds and inserts for the following machining: gravity casting and die casting, open and closed die forging, hot forming (direct and indirect), blanking, blowing and moulding of glass, stamping and blanking.

Finally, thanks to its properties, Böhler W360 steel can be used for the manufacture of nozzles, extractors and inserts in the moulding of filled (up to 60% vol of fibreglass) and unloaded polymers and high-tech polymers.

Titanium grade 23 (Ti6Al4V ELI) has excellent properties: ELI is an acronym for Extra Low Interstitial, indicating that this alloy has a very low amount of interstitial elements (carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen). The interstitial elements are inserted in the crystalline lattice of the material making the structure more fragile and reducing elongation at break; however, they also result in an increase in the mechanical properties, for this reason, it is preferable to vary the amount according to the alloy’s intended use.

If an extremely ductile and tough material is required, the interstitial elements should be reduced as much as possible, just as it was done for grade 23 titanium which contains 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium, 0.13% (maximum) of oxygen and the rest titanium. Also, grade 23 titanium has better ductility than grade 5.

AlSi10Mg is a typical casting alloy with good casting properties and is typically used for cast parts with thin walls and complex geometry. It offers good strength, hardness and dynamic properties and is therefore also used for parts subject to high loads. Parts in Aluminium AlSi10Mg are ideal for applications which require a combination of good thermal properties and low weight. They can be machined, spark-eroded, welded, micro shot-peened, polished and coated if required. Conventionally cast components in this type of aluminium alloy are often heat treated to improve the mechanical properties, for example using the T6 cycle of solution annealing, quenching and age hardening.

The laser-sintering process is characterized by extremely rapid melting and re-solidification. This produces a metallurgy and corresponding mechanical properties in the as-built condition which is similar to T6 heat-treated cast parts.

NickelAlloy HX alloy is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy that possesses an exceptional combination of oxidation resistance, fabricability and high-temperature strength. It has also been found to be exceptionally resistant to stresscorrosion cracking in petrochemical applications. It exhibits good ductility after prolonged exposure at temperatures of 1200, 1400, 1600°F (650, 760 and 870°C).

NickelAlloy HX has wide use in gas turbine engines for combustion zone components such as transition ducts, combustor canes, spray bars and flame holders as well as in afterburners, tailpipes and cabin heaters. It is recommended for use in industrial furnace applications because it has unusual resistance to oxidizing, reducing and neutral atmosphere.

AISI 420 is the most common grade of martensitic steel. This tempered steel presents the completely complementary characteristics of the most used ferritic and austenitic steel.

The tempering process to which it is subjected makes it very useful for cutlery, surgical and dental instruments, springs, molds for plastics, spheres, wear resistant components, pump components, parts in control devices, diesel engine pumps. In tempered and annealed state with mirror-polished surfaces it has good resistance to corrosion in highly aggressive, non-chlorinated environments.
