Z-15 PM is a Powder Metallurgy steel known for its incomparable wear resistance. Thanks to the high concentration of carbides in its microstructure, it guarantees exceptional tool lifetime, maintaining good toughness. <\/p>\n\n
Compared to conventional steels and other PM grades, Z-15 PM offers:<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Unmatched wear resistance, ideal for highly abrasive applications<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Excellent cutting edge stability, for long-lasting sharpness<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Greater toughness than carbide, to reduce the risk of breakage<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Excellent compatibility with advanced coatings such as TiAlN<\/p>\n\n
The Z-15 PM is the perfect choice for improving performance and tool life in extremely abrasive environments, where maximum wear resistance is required without compromising toughness.<\/p>\n\n
Main applications<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Blanking tools for thin sheet metal<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Extrusion and drilling tools<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Knives for cutting sheets, films and paper<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Rotary knives and industrial blades<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Sintering matrices<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Plastic molding tools with abrasive additives<\/p>\n\n
\u2714 Tools subject to high wear<\/p>\n\n
If you are looking for a steel with the highest wear resistance among PM steels, Z-15 PM\u00ae is the ideal solution for the most demanding applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
