Nicro 175HQ is a precipitation hardening stainless steel, designed for applications requiring high mechanical strength, toughness and corrosion resistance.
Thanks to the VOD (Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization) and ESR (Electro-Slag Remelting) production process, this steel offers:
✔ High purity and isotropic structure, for uniform performance
✔ High corrosion resistance, ideal for aggressive environments
✔ Hardness up to 43 HRc after aging, ensuring durability and reliability
✔ Easy processing and polishability, without compromising on resistance
✔ Excellent weldability, simplifying assembly and maintenance
Due to its dimensional stability and ease of heat treatment, Nicro 175HQ is an ideal choice for high-precision industrial components.
Main applications
✔ Inserts and matrices for molds for plastic materials
✔ Screws and molds for extrusion of plastic materials
✔ Inserts and matrices for molds for zinc alloy die casting
If you are looking for a steel with excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance properties, Nicro 175HQ® represents the perfect solution for components subject to high stress.
