Z-9 PM is a high-performance steel obtained with Powder Metallurgy technology, developed to offer an optimal balance between toughness, wear resistance and dimensional stability.
Compared to the Z-10 PM, this version features reduced carbon and vanadium content, which significantly improves thermal fatigue resistance and toughness, while still maintaining excellent hardness (up to 58 HRc).
Thanks to its uniform microstructure, Z-9 PM guarantees greater workability and a stable response to heat treatments, reducing the risk of breakage and chipping even under conditions of strong stress.
Main applications
✔ Extrusion tools
✔ Hot forming rollers
✔ Cutting blades and punches
✔ Hot forming rollers
✔ Blades for plastic granulators and hot molding
If you are looking for a steel that combines durability, stability and high performance, Z-9 PM® is the ideal choice for the most demanding applications.
